Hi dear friends!
What do you call the structure The more , the more and all other structures which we often use in English language?
NOT A TEACHER
(1) I believe that you referring to a sentence such as "The
more I know him, the
more I like him." Am I correct?
(2) According to my books,
the ... the are called
correlative adverbs. They are used in
adverbial clauses of comparison.
(3) If you have some good books (or find some good articles on the Internet), read
all you can about the words that I have underlined.
(4) Here are some examples from my books:
The wealthier he grew, the stingier he seemed.
The more he tried to speak plainly, the worse he stuttered.
The faster we walk, the sooner we shall arrive.
(5) If you have questions about a specific sentence, please post your question in
this forum, and one of the excellent teachers will be delighted to answer you.
