Reglas del comparativo con los adverbios

 

     So far, we've compared things (nouns) and descriptive words (adjectives). There's one more comparison we can make, and that's with adverbs. Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives and other adverbs.


     Now, let's use them in the comparative. Look below. A menudo is an adverb.Bien is the Spanish word for "well." Whenever you describe a verb, an adjective or another adverb, you must use an adverb. You cannot say "He speaks English good." We know that's wrong in English, but many people use it anyway. So, in Spanish, be extra careful.


     If you are going to put más right before bien, remember to replace the two words with mejor.


más + bien = mejor


     In the same respect Mal means "bad"and cannot be used with más; instead, use peor.


más + mal = peor
