Expressing "compared with" using "gen"

Nível: HSK 3 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

If you want to do a straight-up comparison statement, go ahead and use the classic 比 (bǐ) structure . But if you want to lead with a "compared with..." phrase, you'll need a 跟 (gēn) and a slightly different word order. This sentence structure is used for comparing one thing as it relates to another. These patterns are for making a comment about B, as it relates to A. 跟 + A + 比 (起来) ，B⋯⋯
