    The Comparative

    • The comparative is used to compare people and things using adjectives

    • In English we form it by putter -er on an adjective :

    • tallER shortER funniER

    • Example: Coraline is shorter than Mme Chuck

    • Example: French students are smarter than other students.

    • In English there are some irregulars: good = better fun = more fun bad = worse

    Le comparatif

    • To make the comparative in French:

    • noun1 + is/are + more/less/as + adjective + than + noun2

    • noun1 + est/sont + plus/moins/aussi + adjectif + que + nous2

    • It’s easier than algebra!

    • Coraline est plus courte que Mme Chuck

    • Les élèves de français sont plus intelligents que les autres élèves

    Irregulars

    • Just like there are irregulars in English, there are in French too!

    • There are two in French: bon (good) et mauvais (bad)

    • Bon turns into meilleur

    • Mauvais turns into pire

    • When using them in a sentence you don't need the plus/moins/aussi

    • Example: Un stylo est mieux qu'un crayon.

    • Example: Le chocolat blanc est pire que le chocolat noir.

    Notes!

    • The adjective MUST agree with the first noun

    • Don't forget the verb of the sentence: est = is, sont = are

    • If you are not using a proper noun, you need articles

    • Que becomes qu' in front of a vowel

    Using devoir

    • Devoir is a 'helper verb', meaning that it is not the main action of the sentence.

    • Your main verb (what you have to do) will be in the infinitive

    • Example: Je dois étudier = I have to study
