Questions & Answers about wǒmen bǐ tā gèng xǐhuan kàn diànyǐng.

What exactly does 比 do here, and what’s the basic word order?

• 比 marks the thing you’re comparing against: A is more X than B.
• Pattern: A + 比 + B + (更/还/更加) + predicate
• Here: A=我们, B=她, predicate=喜欢看电影 → 我们比她更喜欢看电影。

Is 更 required? What changes if I leave it out or replace it?

• Not required. 我们比她喜欢看电影。 is correct and means the same.
• 更 adds emphasis (“even more”), slightly stronger than without it.
• You can also use:
  • 还 (more colloquial): 我们比她还喜欢看电影。
  • 更加 (more formal/emphatic): 我们比她更加喜欢看电影。

Where must 比她 go? Can I put “than her” at the end like in English?

• The 比-phrase goes right after the subject and before the predicate: 我们比她更喜欢…
• Don’t put it at the end: ✗ 我们更喜欢看电影比她。
• You can front it as a topic with 跟…比/比起 for style: 跟她比， 我们更喜欢看电影。 / 比起她，我们更喜欢看电影。

Why is 更 before 喜欢 and not before 看?

• Adverbs like 更 go before the verb/adjective they modify.
• Here 更 modifies the degree of liking (喜欢), not the act of watching (看).
• If you want “watch more often/more,” change the predicate:
  • Preference: 我们比她更喜欢看电影。
  • Frequency/amount: 我们比她更常看电影。 / 我们看电影比她更多。
