Le Comparatif 2) Two actions Ex.M. Simon mange vite. M. Simon eats quickly. Mme Mercier mange plus vite que M. Simon. Mme Mercier eats quicker than M. Simon.

Le Comparatif To form the comparative of adjectives (describing words) and adverbs (words that modify verbs), we use the following construction: Plus + un adjectif/adverbe + que + un nom

Le Comparatif Exemples: Ex:Marc court vite. Luc court plus vite que Marc. Ex.Annie est belle. Lucia est plus belle quAnnie.

Le Superlatif We use the superlative to compare: 1) more than two objects or people: Ex. La Chine est grande. China is large. Le Canada est plus grand que la Chine. Canada is larger than China. La Russie est la plus grande. Russia is the largest.

Le Superlatif 2) More than two actions: Ex.M. Simon mange vite. M. Simon eats quickly. Mme Mercier mange plus vite que M. Simon. Mme Mercier eats quicker than M. Simon. M. Poirier mange le plus vite. M. Poirier eats the quickest.

Le Superlatif The superlative indicates the highest quality – the best To form the superlative of adjectives and adverbs: le/la/les + plus/moins +un adjectif le+ plus/moins+un adverbe (invariable – doesnt change)
