Aby, to compare use "than" NOT "that". For some words, which are short words we use the -er ending instead of more. For example,
ResponderEliminarThe state of Chihuahua is bigger than the country of Tlaxcala.
The Rio Bravo is longer than the Papaloapan River .
The beach of Acapulco is more beautiful than the beach of Huatulco.
For superlatives, we use THE and -EST or THE + MOST instead of more - than or -ER - than.
ResponderEliminarWhich state is THE HOTTEST?
Which state is THE MOST Extensive?
Which state is THE RAINIEST?
Extensive is a long word with lots of syllables so it is easier and more comfortable to say the most extensive instead of
the extensivest.
