From Lesson 441:Emphasizing the subject (c'est... qui)·French

Questions & Answers about Vous êtes plus rapides que nous pour remplir la glacière.

Why is there an 's' on rapides?
The 's' tells us that vous is being used for the plural 'you' (addressing more than one person). If the speaker were addressing a single person formally, the adjective would drop the 's' and become Vous êtes plus rapide.
How would I change this into a cleft sentence to emphasize 'YOU are the ones who...'?
You would say C'est vous qui êtes plus rapides pour remplir la glacière. Notice that the verb être is conjugated as êtes to agree with the pronoun vous. This is the key rule for subject cleft sentences: the verb after qui agrees with the emphasized pronoun.
Why do we use nous after que in this comparison?
In French comparisons, the pronoun that follows que must be a stressed pronoun (also called a disjunctive pronoun). For 'we', the stressed pronoun happens to be nous, exactly the same as the subject pronoun. If it were 'than him', you would use que lui.
Why does the sentence use pour remplir instead of a literal translation like à remplissant?
English often uses 'at doing' or 'in doing' for speeds and skills, but French uses prepositions followed by the infinitive form of the verb, never the present participle. Here, pour + infinitive is used to mean 'when it comes to filling' or 'for the task of filling'.
