Questions & Answers about Свежие продукты дорогие, однако мы продолжаем их покупать. Более того, мы покупаем всё больше.
What is the exact difference between более того and кроме того in this context?
While both can be translated as "moreover," более того is used to escalate or reinforce the previous point. You use it when the new information is even more surprising or extreme than what you just said (we don't just buy them, we buy even more). Кроме того simply adds another piece of information, like "besides" or "additionally."
Why is the word всё used before больше at the end of the sentence?
On its own, всё means "everything" or "all." But when you place всё directly in front of a comparative word like больше (more), it expresses a continuous increase. Together, всё больше translates to "more and more" or "increasingly."
Why must we use the imperfective verb покупать after продолжаем?
Verbs denoting the start, continuation, or end of an action (like начинать, продолжать, and заканчивать) are always followed by an imperfective infinitive. This is because "continuing" an action naturally focuses on the ongoing process, not a single completed result.
Since дорогие (expensive) is the predicate here, could I use the short form adjective дороги instead?
