Grammar
More adverbs and oblique cases...
Here is another adverb situation:
1. He completed his project more quickly than his co-worker.
2. He completed his project quicker than his co-worker.
I know that the first sentence is grammatically correct. My question is whether the second sentence is acceptable (in speech and/or writing) or not.
And one more question:
1. He is faster than she.
2. He is faster than her.
3. He is faster than she is.
Am I supposed to use an oblique case after “than”?
In my native language, we have 6 cases, each of which changes nouns and pronouns significantly (these cases even affect verbs, adverbs and adjectives that are connected to the changed nouns and pronouns). This is the reason I am prone to overuse oblique cases in English… Hence, my attempt to learn how and when to use cases correctly in English…
Thank you in advance.
