[Grammar] 보다 더 more than

When you compare two nouns,  you can use -보다 particle which means ‘than’. It often comes with 더 (more) or 훨씬 (much more). The position for ‘noun+보다’ is very flexible, so you can put it in front of a noun that you want to compare. For example, 

Noun1이/가   Noun2보다  (더)  ~  = Noun2보다  Noun1이/가 (더) ~

Noun1을/를  Noun2보다  (더)  ~  = Noun2보다  Noun1을/를 (더) ~
