Key learning points

1. To make comparisons in French we use plus ...que, moins ...que and aussi ...que with adjectives and adverbs.
2. To describe something as the best, the most or the least, we use superlatives: le/la/les + plus/moins + adjective.
3. [qu] sounds like 'quatre'. There is no sound equivalent to the 'qu' sound in English.
