The...the... comparatives - English In A Minute - YouTube

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.

One: Yes! If I study more, I learn more.

Or, two:

Yes! The more I study, the more I learn.

The meaning is the same.

One thing depends on another.

But, did you notice?

We change 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.
