Questions & Answers about Cuanto más vamos al muelle, más nos relajamos.
Why does the sentence start with Cuanto más instead of a direct translation of 'The more'?
In English, we use 'The more... the more...' to show that two things increase together. In Spanish, you cannot literally say 'El más... el más...'. The correct grammatical structure is cuanto más (literally 'how much more') followed by the first action, and then just más followed by the resulting action.
Does the word Cuanto ever change its ending here, like to Cuantos?
Why do we need the pronoun nos before relajamos?
Where would I put the subject nosotros if I wanted to include it?
