The Comparative Framework (plus...que, moins...que, aussi...que)

Comparando Qualidades e Quantidades

As estruturas comparativas são construídas em torno dos advérbios mais (mais), menos (menos), e assim (assim). Eles são seguidos pelo adjetivo ou pela expressão nominal e então pelo do que (do que/assim como). Os adjetivos em si continuam a concordar em gênero e número com o substantivo que modificam, seguindo as regras apresentadas em cores e adjetivos descritivos básicos.

Comparação de Adjetivos

Comparing Adjectives is a fundamental part of the English language. It is used to describe the relationship between two or more things. There are several ways to compare adjectives in English, including:

- Using the words more and most
- Using the words less and least
- Using the words as and as well as
- Using the words than and as

For example:

- She is more intelligent than him.
- He is the most intelligent person in the class.
- This

Comparando Quantidades

To compare amounts, the construction is plus de, moins de, or autant de + noun + que.

- Il y a plus de magasins ici qu’en centre-ville.
- J’ai autant de livres que toi.
- Elle a moins de temps que nous.

The noun is not preceded by any article after de. For the behaviour of de in expressions of quantity, see quantity and partitive articles.

Acordo

The adjective inside the comparative structure continues to agree with the noun it qualifies. For example, Cette chambre est plus grande que l’autre. (feminine singular) and Ces rues sont moins larges que les avenues. (feminine plural). The comparative itself does not alter the agreement rules.
