Plus… plus and moins… moins are used to show a linked change: when one thing changes, another thing changes too.
- Plus tu travailles, plus tu progresses. (The more you work, the more you progress.)
- Plus il parle, plus je comprends. (The more he talks, the more I understand.)
- Moins tu dors, moins tu es concentré. (The less you sleep, the less focused you are.)
- Moins il mange, moins il a d’énergie. (The less he eats, the less energy he has.)
- Both parts are linked: cause → effect.
- Plus tu travailles, moins tu as de temps libre. (The more you work, the less free time you have.)
- Plus il fait chaud, moins j’ai faim. (The hotter it is, the less hungry I am.)
- Moins tu dors, plus tu es fatigué. (The less you sleep, the more tired you are.)
- Moins elle étudie, plus elle fait d'erreurs. (The less she studies, the more mistakes she makes.)
