COMPARISON 02

On COMPARISON 01 you learned how to say 'more...than', 'less...than', 'good, better, best' and 'bad, worse, worst'. Those forms are generally used for 'adjectives', the words that describe 'nouns'.

However there's also sometimes a need to say 'more...than', 'fewer...than' with regard to "quantities" of nouns - so we use 'plus de ... que' ('de' doesn't change, here), or 'moins de ... que' for 'fewer' (again, 'de' doesn't change), or 'autant de ... que' for 'as many as' ('de' doesn't change here, either).

She has more cars than me. (than I do)	Elle a plus de voitures que moi.

She has more cars than bicycles.	Elle a plus de voitures que de bicyclettes.
He has as many cars as bicycles.	Il a autant de voitures que de bicyclettes.
