Hello!

Explications :

Pour comparer en anglais, on utilise :

  • More...than pour "plus...que"
  • Less...than pour "moins...que"

Attention : pour les adjectifs courts (généralement d'une seule syllable), on utilise pas "more" mais la terminaison -er. Ex : He is taller than me (il est plus grand que moi).

Réponse :

1. Taking the lift is quicker than climbing the stairs.

Prendre l'ascenseur, ça va plus vite que de monter les escaliers.

2. Grandma does the shopping more slowly than I do.*

Mamie fait les courses plus lentement que moi.

3. The house in Japan is better than mine!

La maison au Japon est mieux que la mienne !

4. Is walking downstairs more difficult than sliding downstairs?

Descendre à pied est-il plus difficile que de se laisser glisser ?

5. She cleans the house more carefully than her brother.

Elle est plus appliquée que son frère dans le ménage à la maison.

6. Jack washes the dishes worse than Stella.**

Jack fait la vaisselle de façon bien pire que Stella.

*tournure peu naturelle en anglais
**tournure ridiculement peu naturelle en anglais

Cheers ;)
