“The + 比较级” 的用法

陈小将

Hello! I’m Sam from BBC Learning English, and today I have a question for you: if you study more, do you learn more?
You could answer this question in two different ways:
1. Yes, if I study more, I learn more.
Or
2. Yes, the more I study, the more I learn.
The meaning is the same - one thing depends on another. But did you notice we changed the sentence structure?
Let’s have a look together. Take ‘if’ away. Add ‘the’ to the beginning of both parts of the sentence. Rearrange the order of the words so that the comparatives ‘more’, two times here, are after ‘the’. And you get:
The more I study with BBC Learning English, the more I learn.
用法总结
“The + 比较级，the + 比较级” 表示 “越……，就越……”。
The more I study, the more I learn.
The sooner I learn, the better.
