Grammar
"than" as a conjunction
Hi,
Please take a look at these sentences and my related comments, and tell me what you think.
1. She has more money than her husband/her husband does/her husband has. -- I think all three can be used but wonder why this one can have 'her husband does' as a viable option, whereas the other two don't seem to have that option.
2, She runs faster than her husband/her husband does. -- I think both of them can be used, whereas the use of phrase "her husband has" can not.
3. She plays tennis better than he husband/her husband does. -- Similar in my assessment to no. 2.

Hi,
Yes, you can use the appropriate auxiliary.
eg She (does like) likes this food more than her husband/her husband does.
eg She is feeling better than her husbanddoes is..
Or you can, if you want to be verbose or emphatic, repeat the main verb.
eg She likes this food more than her husband likes it.
eg She is fee
