Comparisons of Inequality are used to show how two or more things have the different characteristics! Make sure not to confuse them with Comparisons of Equality or Quantities.

más / menos + adjective + que
más / menos + adverb + que

Juan es más alto que yo.
Juan is taller than I

María es más inteligente que los otros.
María is smarter than the others.

Yo soy menos optimista que mi hermano.
I am less of an optimist than my brother.

Comparisons of Equality and Inequality can also be combined with Quantities of objects, but that will be covered in another lesson.
