Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- To make comparisons in French we use plus... que, moins... que and aussi... que with adjectives and adverbs.
- Some comparative adverb forms are irregular: 'bien' becomes 'mieux' (better)
- 'Mal' becomes 'moins bien' / 'plus mal' (worse)
- [i] sounds like 'midi' and [eu] sounds like 'deux'.
Keywords
Adverb - word that desribes a verb or an adjective
Mieux - the comparative form of the adverb ‘bien’ meaning ‘better'
Common misconception
The words 'meilleur' and 'mieux' can be used interchangeably as they both translate the English word 'better'.
'Meilleur' is an adjective and can only be used to describe nouns. 'Mieux' is an adverb and can only be used to describe verbs.
