NO Prepositions used
In English, we add the word than in our translation
Example: Nilus est latior Rheno (latintutorial)
Translation: The Nile is wider than the Rhine
→ Can also be written as Nilus est latior quam Rhenus
The word “quam” translates directly to “than” but when Rhenus is in the ablative, it is translated to “than the Rhine”
