Comparatives & superlatives

To compare, put plus (more), moins (less), or aussi (as) around the adjective, with que for "than/as":\n\n*Il est plus grand que moi. · Elle est aussi rapide que toi.*\n\nFor the superlative ("the most/least"), add the definite article: le/la/les plus or le/la/les moins + adjective. C'est la plus belle ville.\n\nWatch the irregular: bon → meilleur (better), bien → mieux (better, for adverbs).
