Comparatifs Mme Tolpa Français 3H

Comparatives come in three varieties: Superiority plus... que more... than or ____er Inferiority moins... que less... Than Equality aussi... que as... as autant que as much/many as Exceptions: See bon, bien, and mauvais, below.

Laure est plus sportive (qu'Anne). Laure is more athletic (than Anne). Rouen est moins cher (que Paris). Rouen is less expensive (than Paris). Tu es aussi sympathique que Chantal. You're as nice as Chantal. Je travaille autant qu'elle. I work as much as she does.

Jean est plus grand que Luc. Jean is taller than Luc. Comparisons with plus and moins can be made with adjectives, adverbs, verbs, and nouns. Aussi que is used with adjectives and adverbs, while autant que is used with nouns and verbs. For each part of speech, the comparison can be made with another person/thing (noun or pronoun) or with another of the same part of speech (see note, below). Adjectives Jean est plus grand que Luc. Jean is taller than Luc. Jean est moins fier que Luc. Jean is less proud than Luc. Jean est aussi riche que travailleur. Jean is as rich as (he is) hard-working. Jean est plus sympa qu'intelligent. Jean is nicer than (he is) smart. Jean est moins stricte qu'avant. Jean is less strict than before. Adverbs Jean lit plus lentement que Luc. Jean reads more slowly than Luc. Jean écrit moins souvent que Luc. Jean writes less often than Luc. Jean travaille aussi vite que gentiment. Jean works as quickly as (he does) helpfully. Jean mange plus poliment qu'avant. Jean eats more politely than before.

Nouns Jean a plus de livres que Luc. Jean has more books than Luc. Jean veut autant d'amis que Luc. Jean wants as many friends as Luc. Jean a moins de livres que de jouets. Jean has fewer books than toys. Jean a autant d'amis que d'ennemis. Jean has as many friends as enemies. Jean connaît moins de gens qu'avant. Jean knows fewer people than (he did) before. Verbs Jean travaille plus que Luc. Jean works more than Luc. Jean a étudié autant que Luc. Jean studied as much as Luc. Jean lit moins qu'avant. Jean reads less than before.

Adjectives plus/moins/aussi + adjective + que + noun/pronoun plus/moins/aussi + adjective + que + adjective plus/moins/aussi + adjective + que + temporal adverb Adverbs plus/moins/aussi + adverb + que + noun/pronoun plus/moins/aussi + adverb + que + adverbNouns plus/moins/autant + de + noun + que + noun/pronoun plus/moins/autant + de + noun + que + de + noun plus/moins/autant + de + noun + que + temporal adv. Verbs verb + plus/moins/autant que + noun verb + plus/moins/autant que + temporal adverb verb + plus/moins/autant que + pronoun + verb* **When using plus or moins in this construction, the ne explétif is required. Note: After plus and moins, the que + noun/pronoun... construction is optional.

Cette actrice est la meilleure. C’est la meilleure actrice du film. II. Superlatives are formed with the definite article + plus or moins. Depending on the adjective, the superlative may be placed before or after the noun. Most adjectives follow the noun they modify and thus the superlatives do too. With adjectives that normally precede the noun, you can place the superlative either before or after the noun. Note that when the superlative follows the noun, the sentence will have two definite articles Cette actrice est la meilleure. C’est la meilleure actrice du film. Robert Pattenson est le plus bel acteur du monde. Le fantôme est le personnage le plus effrayant du spectacle.

*Irregular Adjective Superiority Comparison: bon => good meilleur (NOT plus bon) => better (comparative) mauvais => bad plus mauvais (pire) => worse (comparative) petit => small plus petit (moindre) => smaller (comparative) bon is the only true exception as it has no regular comparative; the other two have irregular comparatives as well as regular ones, with the irregular forms (in parenthesis) being used in more circumscribed situations. Irregular Adverb Superiority Comparison: bien => well mieux (NOT plus bien) => better (comparative) peu => little (comparative) moins (NOT plus peu) => less beaucoup => very, much plus (NOT plus beaucoup) => more (comparative)
