質問: 比較級 than sv について こんにちは。比較級を勉強しているのですが、以下の文で thanの後がsvになる場合とそうでない場合の違いがわかりません。 どういう時に than sv になるのか教えていただけると助かります。 〈thanの後がsvにならない場合〉 she walks more slowly than other girls. he can speak english better than me. tom got to the station earlier than his friends. 〈thanの後がsvになる場合〉 he read the book more carefully than i did. my brother studies much longer than i do. do you study harder than he does? よろしくお願いします!
回答: than以下は基本的にsv型です。主語だけのものはただ省略されただけです。 she walks more slowly than other girls (walk). he can speak english better than i (speak). *meは本来誤用 tom got to the station earlier than his friends (got to the station). これを煩わしいので代動詞に変えたものが、 she walks more slowly than other girls do. he can speak english better than i do. tom got to the station earlier than his friends did. これをさらにすっきりさせたものが、質問でお示しの英文です。
