two more sentences.....
ok.
Would "pair of" be "par de"? I want to write: "Two pairs of eyes are better than one." "Dos par de ojos son mejores que uno." ![]() ![]() one pair of eyes: un par de ojos two pairs of eyes: dos par de ojos It has to use "better than", plural. How about this sentence...using "worse than"....singular Una nota D es peor que una nota A. Wait a sec! Can I even use "grades"? Are they even objects????

Pares = pairs Everything else looks ok. As to "grades" it would depend to what degree you want to use them. :-) Hernan. |

Las ratas son peores que los ratones Podrias usar: Algunas ratas son peores que (algunos or los) ratones. Puedes pensar en que momento usarias esto? Hernan. |

Look at number 11. It is different than all the other sentences before it. In those, you were comparing items that were not equal; one was always less or more than the other. That is why I called them inequality comparisons. Number 11 has two items that are equal. That is what I meant. Is it OK that this sentence broke the pattern?
Sentence number 12 also breaks the pattern. It isn't a comparative. (By the way, errors still remain in number 12.) @Chileno, we are only supposed to offer hints in this particular forum. Please don't do Jessica's homework for her. |

it's called a comparative project, but the last 4 sentences we use "the most", "the least", "the best", and "the worst". So yeah we still use superlatives. There is a bracket thing circling them, saying "Use 'de' with one of these superlatives to refer to a group or category". Is that supposed to mean that I can only use "de" in one sentence?
last one: Unas película de terror es la peor clase de película de todas las películas.. Horror movies is the worst kind of movie of all movies. okay so these are all 15 sentences. double check them if you want :P 1. María tiene más dinero que José. 2. Raul tiene menos cuadernos que Alicia. 3. El cuadro de flores es mejor que el de garabatos. 4. Dos pares de ojos son mejores que uno 5. Una nota D es peor que una nota A. 6. Las ratas son peores que los ratones. 7. Una cría de pingüino es menor que uno pingüino. 8. Los niños son menores que los adultos 9. Un ciervo es mayor que un cervato. 10. Los tigres son mayores que las crías de tigres. 11. Un anuncio es tan aburrido como un programa de entrevistas 12. Rafael tiene el más galletas de los chicos. 13. María tiene el menos joyas de las chicas. 14. Sofía tiene la mejor nota en el examenes de matematicas. 15. Unas película de terror es la peor clase de película de todas las películas..

The superlative is incorrectly used. The superlative compares two groups (superiority- or inferiority-wise) and there is always an adjective involved.
For example, compare the size or the color of the cookies (use an adjective). Then use the proper form of the superlative: superior: el más; los más la más; las más inferior: el menos; los menos la menos; las menos |

The word galletas isn't an adjective. Neither is joyas. To use the superlative, there must be an adjective after the word más or menos. Check your textbook for examples and then rewrite these two sentences. Find an adjective to describe the cookies and the gems.
