Hola 👋🏼 Better se usa para indicar que algo es mejor que otra cosa. Ejemplo: Your results were better than mine = Tus resultados fueron mejores que los mios. More than se usa para indicar que algo es más que otra cosa. Ejemplo: 5 is more than 1 = 5 es más que 1.

Cuál es la diferencia de better than y more than? Se puede usar para el mismo significado?

Hi Esther! 😄

It does not have the same meaning because:

"Better than" compares quality -The taste of Mexican avocado is better than American avocado.

"More than" compares quantity

I have more pets than you do.

Hi community, i have a one question when we use comparative for example: "me gusta mas el futbol que el basquetball" should be. "i like more futbol than basketball" or " i liker futbol than basketball"?

And this is my homework:

I like New york city better than los angeles
i like wine better than beers
do you like more mcdonals than burger king?

LEONARDO MARTINEZ CHAVEZ

Hi. The correct sentence is: "I like soccer(futbol) more than basketball"

Pardon, but I think that you should have written: Do you like Mc Donald´s more than Burger King?
