Sentence correctness
Hi
Please tell me both sentences are correct.
(I understand the difference in the meaning, nevertheless I would like to know what native speakers think about them)
1. Sylvia admires her sister more than her brother.
I understand this is a simple sentence and Sylvia is the subject and sister and brother are objects.
2. Sylvia admires her sister more than her brother does.
I understand this is a complex sentence with main clause—"Sylvia admires her sister"—and subordinate clause— "more than her brother does"
