Extended Comparison Patterns: A比B V得Adj

Chinese grammar · HSK 3 · 比较句扩展 · By Carson 木林森

HSK2学过 A比B+Adj（他比我高）。HSK3扩展：比较动作的结果，要加V得。

比 bǐ Belgium 得 de to obtain 动词 dòng cí 形容词 xíng róng cí

结构一：A + 比 + B + V(+O) + V + 得 + Adj
他比我跑得快。

结构二（更常用）：A + V(+O) + V + 得 + 比 + B + Adj
他跑得比我快。（意思一样）

加程度：V得 + 比 + B + Adj + 多了 / 一点儿
他跑得比我快多了。（快很多）

注意：比字句里，形容词前不能再加"很/太/非常"（*他跑得比我很快 ✗）。
