比 Comparisons
Use 比 to compare with quick examples and a cloze drill.
比 is the go-to word for comparisons in Chinese. Frame the two things you are comparing around 比 and keep the adjective or result after it.
Core pattern: A 比 B + adjective/result
Put the thing that wins first, then 比, then the thing it is compared to, and finish with an adjective or result phrase.
Example: 今天的天气比昨天凉快。 — “Today’s weather is cooler than yesterday.”
Example: 姐姐比我高。 — “My older sister is taller than me.”
Intensify or soften the comparison
Add 多了/得多 to show a big difference: 今天比昨天暖和多了。 Use 一点儿 to soften it: 这件衬衫比那件贵一点儿。
