Comparing People and Things

In this text, we see words used to show who has more of something. This is a key skill for A2 English.

The Pattern: [Word] + "more" + [than]

  • He has more support than Steve Hilton.
  • ...more votes than their rivals.

How it works: When you want to say Person A is higher or bigger than Person B, use more + the thing they have + than.

Simple Examples:

  • I have more coffee than you. \rightarrow (I have 3 cups, you have 1).
  • She has more books than me. \rightarrow (Her shelf is fuller).

Quick Tip: Don't say "more better" or "more bigger." Just use more with nouns (things you can count or name), like votes, support, or time.
