Questions & Answers about Pour améliorer ta capacité, tu dois bouger plus qu'avant.
How does the comparative structure here differ from comparing adjectives?
When comparing verbs, the comparison words (plus que, moins que, autant que) go after the verb as a single unit. Here, we see bouger plus qu'avant (to move more than before). If you were comparing adjectives, plus and que would sandwich the adjective (like plus grand que).
Should I pronounce the 's' at the end of plus in this sentence?
Why use Pour améliorer (the infinitive) instead of Pour que...?
When the person doing the action is the same in both parts of the sentence (it's "you" improving and "you" moving), we simply use pour + infinitive to mean "in order to". We only use pour que (which requires the subjunctive) when there are two different subjects.
