???Ê?È?Ï??ºÍ×î?ß??
1. comparative of adverbs: indicating more, less, or equality ?????Ê?È?Ï????plus / moins / aussi + ???Ê + que??
Plus + adverb + que conveys the idea of 'more . . . than', moins + adverb
+ que the idea of 'less . . . than'. Aussi + adverb + que conveys the idea of 'as . . . as'.
Joe-Bob court plus vite qu'Edouard.
Joe-Bob runs faster than Edouard.
Tex court moins vite que Joe-Bob.
Tex runs slower (less fast) than Joe-Bob.
Qui court aussi lentement qu'Edouard? Personne, bien s?r!
Who runs as slowly as Edouard? No one, of course!
Note that mieux (better) is the irregular comparative form of the adverb bien (well). The other comparative forms of bien are regular (moins bien
que, aussi bien que).
Joe-Bob: Vous allez bien aujourd'hui? Vous ?ºtes en forme pour la course? Joe-Bob: Are you doing ok today? Are you in good shape for the race?
Tex: Ah, oui, je vais mieux qu'hier. Je n'ai pas fum?? depuis 24 heures. Tex: Ah yes, I am better than yesterday. I haven't smoked for 24 hours.
Edouard: Moi, je vais moins bien qu'hier. J'ai tellement travaill?? que
j'ai des courbatures.
Edouard: Oh no, I am less well than yesterday. I've worked so much that I have aches and pains.

2. superlative of adverbs: indicating the most, the least
?????Ê×î?ß????le plus / moins + ???Ê??
In French as in English, the superlative is a way to express a maximum or
minimum quality or capacity: 'the fastest', 'the least fast'. To form
the
superlative of an adverb, the masculine singular form of the definite article is always used: le, followed by plus (more) or moins (less) before the adverb. Note that the superlative of an adverb has only one form. Le mieux (the best) and le moins bien (the least well) are the superlative forms of the adverb bien (well).
Joe-Bob, Tex, Corey et Edouard se pr??parent ?? faire une course. Joe-Bob, Tex, Corey and Edouard are about to start a race.
Corey: Qui va gagner?
Corey: Who's going to win?
Joe-Bob: Moi, bien s?r! je cours le plus vite et Edouard va ?ºtre le dernier parce qu'il court le moins vite!
Joe-Bob: Me, of course! I run the fastest and Edouard is going to be last,
because he runs the least fast!
Edouard (vex??): Tu dis ?a parce que je suis un escargot! Mais tout le
monde sait que je cours le plus ??l??gamment!
Edouard (offended): You say this because I am a snail! But everyone knows
that I run the most elegantly!
