noun + verb + comparative degree + than I thought What are the Japanese constructions to express the following English formula? **noun + verb + comparative degree + than I thought** E.g. _Today is colder than I thought._ _This works better than I thought._ Is it possible to say?

You got the good idea, but you just have to be careful to not make logical or verb tense mistakes.

For example,

>

Should probably be

> -> It went better than expected.
> -> It is going better than expected.

Right now you are expressing present/future tense, which doesn't fit well with your thought in the past. You could say it like that though.

> -> It's probably gonna go better than your are thinking.

As for talking about things like the weather, you might want to use words like instead of . There is a certain nuance between what you think and what is planned.
