Expressing "much more" in comparisons

As well as expressing that two things differ, you might want to go further and say that they differ a lot. The structure for this is:

Subject + 比 + Noun + Adjective + 得多 / 多了

This is like saying that one thing is much more adjective than another in English.

Some examples:

• 他 比 我 高 得多。
• 狗 比 猫 笨 多了。
• 你 比 我 胖 得多。
• 我 比 他 酷 多了。
