Questions on sentences with the modal verb "could"

Hi. Please help me with these. Are these correct? I think we can think of the word "unless" in sentence 3 as "if not."

1. She sings better than he does/can/could.

2. She does calculations faster than he does/can/could.

3. Where could she ride this bicycle this fast unless she is in a place where not many people are around?
  

Top answer

She [sings better / does calculations faster] than he does. She can [sing better / do calculations faster] than he can. She could [sing better / do calculations faster] than he could.

  • She [sings better / does calculations faster] than he does.
  • She can [sing better / do calculations faster] than he can.
  • She could [sing better / do calculations faster] than he could.
  • I would not use unless in the following sentence.
  • Where could she ride this bicycle this fast except in a place where not many people are around?
