0 Hi Cogar,02br 02br 00I don't think you need the word 01i 00as02i 00 in that sentence. However, I would put01i 00 when 02i 00instead. So it should be 'Tom is more intelligent when compared to Tim'.

0 Yeah. I agree with Yoong Liat. It would sound better if you say 'Tom is more intelligent than Tim'. You could also say 'Tom is 01font00smarter02font00 than Tim', which, I think, is used more often. 02br
