Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary
I. than [brit. angl. ðan, ð(ə)n, am. angl. ðæn, ðən] PREDL. When than is used as a preposition in expressions of comparison, it is translated by que (or qu' before a vowel or mute ‘h’): he's taller than me = il est plus grand que moi; London is bigger than Oxford = Londres est plus grand qu'Oxford.
For expressions with numbers, temperatures etc see the entry below.
See also the entries more, less, hardly, soon, rather, other.
When than is used as a conjunction, it is translated by que and the verb following it is preceded by ne: it was farther than I thought = c'était plus loin que je ne pensais. However, French speakers often try to phrase the comparison differently: it was more difficult than we expected = c'était plus difficile que prévu. For other uses see the entry below.
See also the entries hardly, rather, soon.
