1. Comparisons are of the form「A は, Bより~です」or 「Aのほうが、Bより~です」. But I don't understand the meaning of ほうin the latter pattern. Can someone please explain?
2. How is the form ど+verb actually used to say "how to + verb"? Sometimes I hear the verb in its て form and sometimes I don't.
3. ぼくにとっては、英語のほうが数学よりかんたんだ。
What does the とって mean in the above?
