To compare two things in French, "sandwich" an adjective between a comparative word and que (than / as).
Comparing with "plus" and "moins"
Use plus (more) or moins (less) before the adjective, and que (than) after it:
| This console is more popular than that one. | Cette console est plus populaire que celle-là. |
| This controller is less practical than that one. | Cette manette est moins pratique que celle-là. |
Expressing equality with "aussi"
To say something is as [adjective] as something else, use aussi ... que:
| The virtual world is as realistic as life. | Le monde virtuel est aussi réaliste que la vie. |
| This character is as interesting as the other one. | Ce personnage est aussi intéressant que l'autre. |
Elision with "que"
Que drops its vowel and becomes qu' when the following word begins with a vowel or a mute h.
| This console is more fun than a computer. | Cette console est plus amusante qu'un ordinateur. |
Adjective agreement
The adjective always agrees in gender and number with the noun it describes (the first subject in the sentence):
| These buttons are smaller than those. | Ces boutons sont plus petits que ceux-là. |
| This adventure is more violent than the first one. | Cette aventure est plus violente que la première. |
