"In summer we walk more often than in winter."

Translation: Летом мы ходим пешком чаще, чем зимой.

[GeneralChar]

What is exactly the difference between 'летом мы ходим чаще, чем зимой' and 'летом мы ходим ПЕШКОМ чаще, чем зимой' ?

[2E3S]

Given alone they mean the same since the default meaning for "ходить" is moving on foot. But in some context the first sentence might mean "ходить на лыжах", "ходить в горы", "ходить в магазин" etc whereas the second sentence emphasizes clearly that it's "on foot".

[FinnHasson]

Could you use гуляем without пешком? For example, in this case, <<Летом мы чаще гуляем, чем зимой>>?

[-aks-]

yes you can, if to stroll = to walk

[KalenGi]

How would you write it without using чем?

[Antixity]

I'm not sure you can. Up to this point in the course, I've only seen comparisons without чем when it's nouns being compared, in which case the 2nd noun is put into genitive case. But in this exercise it's adverbs being compared (летом and зимой), so I suspect that чем is mandatory.

My answer is correct as your answer, still msrks me wrong

[Paul440929]

Why is this word order wrong? Or is it?

Летом мы чаще ходим пешком, чем зимой.

[susanashe]

'much more often' (viz much more bigger) is something children say when they are learning to talk. More often is sufficient for the rest of us

[Scian4]

Er... "bigger" is analogous to "more often"; "much bigger" is analogous to "much more often". "Much" is simply an intensifier in both instances
