La comparaison : construction

Le comparatif est l'expression d'une comparaison faite entre 2 éléments d'un même ensemble.
1- Le comparatif de supériorité : PLUS ... QUE
a- Adjectif court ( 1 ou 2 syllabes ) => [Adjectif + -ER ] + THAN
ex1 : He is younger than you. ( = Il est plus jeune que vous. )
ex2 : She is richer than him.( = Elle est plus riche que lui. )

b- Adjectif long ( 2 syllabes ou plus ) => MORE + Adjectif + THAN
ex : They are more serious than us.( = Ils sont plus sérieux que nous. )

c- Le comparatif d'égalité : AUSSI ... QUE
L'adjectif est précédé et suivi de AS => AS + Adjectif + AS
ex1 : Jack is as tall as his father. ( = Jack is aussi grand que son père. )
ex2 : Your pen is not as expensive as mine. ( = Ton stylo n'est pas aussi cher que le mien. )

d- Attention aux comparatifs irréguliers :
GOOD => BETTER THAN ( = meilleur que )
WELL => BETTER THAN ( = mieux que )
BAD => WORSE THAN ( = pire que )
Consigne : Complétez les phrases en utilisant soit AS ( = as ), soit MORE ( = more ) , soit THAN ( = than ).
