How to say “more than”, “less than” & “as … as”

Comparing things or people This is usually pretty straightforward in English: Peter is biggER than George My house is smallER than your house etc.

Comparing things or people This does not work in French. Instead we have to insert words around the adjective to translate: More “adjective” than Less “adjective” than As “adjective” as

How do we say this in French? More “adjective” than Less “adjective” than As “adjective” as Plus “adjective” QUE Moins “adjective” QUE Aussi “adjective” QUE

Examples My brother is taller than my sister French is easier than Latin England is less hot than France Mon frėre est PLUS grand QUE ma soeur Le français est PLUS facile QUE le latin. L’Angleterre est MOINS chaudE QUE la France Note feminine agreement!

More examples George is as intelligent as Sophie Sophie is as intelligent as George George est aussi intelligent QUE Sophie Sophie est aussi intelligentE QUE George
