Comparing actions
To compare how actions are performed, use comparative adverbs. Place plus (more), moins (less), or aussi (as) before the adverb, and que (than/as) after it.
When comparing an action to a pronoun, use a stressed pronoun (like moi, toi, or nous) after que.
| The acrobat jumps as fast as you. | L'acrobate saute aussi vite que toi. |
| The clown dances more gracefully than the acrobat. | Le clown danse plus gracieusement que l'acrobate. |
| The acrobats jump into the net less quickly than us. | Les acrobates sautent dans le filet moins rapidement que nous. |
Adverbs never change
Unlike adjectives, adverbs describe actions, not nouns. They are invariable, meaning they never change to match the gender or number of the subject performing the action.
| The juggler throws the balls as skillfully as the clown. | Le jongleur lance les balles aussi adroitement que le clown. |
| These jugglers throw the balls more dangerously than the clowns. | Ces jongleurs lancent les balles plus dangereusement que les clowns. |
