Le comparatif

There are 3 ways to make a comparison, in English and in French.The 3 ways are:– Better than– Worse than– Equal to

Comment dire…?

more than…less than…. As..as…

Plus queMoins queAussi que

Ajoute les adjectifs…pourquoi?

Adjectives are needed for the comparative.Ex) Bob is smarter than Bill.Chuck Norris is stronger than everyone.

There is no way to say –ER in French though!

Bob est PLUS intelligent QUE Bill.Chuck Norris est PLUS fort QUE tout le monde.The adjectives are used with plus que, moins que, aussi que to say –ER!

ex) strongER, smartER

Never forget the ACCORDS!

With the use of adjectives, you always have to remember to make them M.PL, F.S. or F.PL.Ex) Sally est plus intelligentE que Billy.Sally et Beth sont plus intelligentES que Billy.

Like math? Think of it this way!

To say something is better, or more than, you need:

– Noun + être + PLUS + adjective + que + nounTo say something is worse, or less than, you need:

– Noun + être + MOINS + adjective + que + nounTo say something is the same as, you need:

– Noun + être + AUSSI + adjective + que + noun
