Cuando comparamos
dos cosas que non iguales, hay que tener en cuenta si lo
que comparamos es contable o incontable.
En el caso de
cantidades incontables (como 'dinero', 'tiempo',
'paciencia', etc.) los adjetivos que indican cantidad son
MORE (más) y LESS (menos).
Otra manera de
decir que "tenemos menos de algo" es decir que "no
tenemos tanto como".
Esta es, por
tanto, la estructura que ahora practicaremos:
I have LESS money THAN I
used to have
(Tengo menos dinero que
solía tener)
o lo que es lo mismo:
I don't have AS MUCH money
AS I used to have
(No tengo tanto dinero como solía
tener)
Asimismo, practicaremos la estructura
de manera inversa:
She didn't spend AS MUCH
money AS her husband
(Ella no
gastó tanto dinero como su marido)
a lo que habría que responder con la
estructura:
She
spent LESS money THAN her husband
(Ella
gastó menos dinero que su marido)
Para practicar,
responde EN VOZ ALTA cambiando la estructura como en los
ejemplos:
