You Asked Me This Question / Re: ... more ... than ... (structure)

« on: November 07, 2010, 01:41:58 PM »

To make our discussions clearer, let’s use the phrase you presented in a complete sentence like, say, this example:

“A is more likely to be clicked than B.”

This is a comparative sentence indicating that A has a greater chance or likelihood of being clicked than B. Here, the phrase “more likely to be clicked” is the comparative. It is of the form “more + adverbial phrase + verb + than” where, of course, the adverbial phrase is “likely to be” and the verb it is modifying is “clicked.”

I hope this helps clarify the structure and attribute of the phrase you presented.

Please describe the things after "...more ... than".
