Adjectives - Comparisons and Amounts

In GCSE Fast French, you often need to compare people and things, or describe how much you want, have, or need. French uses common comparison patterns such as “plus … que” (more than) and “aussi … que” (as … as). When talking about amounts, you might use expressions like “beaucoup de” (a lot of) or “trop de” (too much), and you may also want to give rough figures for time, distance, or money.

Key Terms

• Comparative: A structure used to compare two things, like saying something is bigger, smaller, faster, or more interesting.
• Quantity expression: A phrase that describes how much or how many, such as “a lot of”, “not enough”, or “too much”.
• Approximation: A rough estimate rather than an exact number, useful when you are not sure of the precise figure.
