THAN IF / SHOE SIZE or SIZE SHOE / IS or no IS.
Could you help me with this please?

2 I wish there was a device you could point at people and you'd know what nationality they were from.

5 Open the window wide and make less noise.
6 He trusts me more than you./more than you do. (what's the difference?)
thank you
