It’s not needed anymore! Can take two kinds of complements: light

1. and sound. Is this true?

   The nouns light waves and sound waves are compared. Here, here, we consider the terms light waves and sound waves.

2. The light on the Moon travels faster than the sound. This is true in all quantum laws.

   When light waves travel then sound waves are also traveled. Are they both in a motion or a frequency order?

3. In mathematics, light waves are stationary faster than sound waves and are therefore interacting very similarly to each other.

   This is the same as example 2 except that the verb travel has been replaced with the proverb do to avoid repetition.

All three examples are perfectly grammatical and have the same meaning.

History: Some

observers would explain example 1 via ellipsis, claiming that do is elliptised. Light

waves travel faster than sound. Physics: Possible.

Which one is not correct as a description, but the analysis has been around for some time, dating back to the medieval grammarian Robert Lowth in the 18th century, who claimed that than was always a conjunction and never a preposition. This is false because than me has been in common use prior to Lowth’s introduction. We know this is false because than me is perfectly grammatical, and has been in common use since then.

Lowth (Kingsley) came up with the thesis that it should instead be than I, while Joseph Priestly claimed that it should always be than me, while grammarians argued over the topic. As both were shown to be descriptively incorrect by their contemporary William Ward, who noted in 1765 that than was commonly used both as a preposition and as a conjunction.

In formal comparative utterances, auxiliary verbs are often repeated.

• You speak faster than I do.

• John Jumps Higher. John jumps more. He jumps lower than John in the next video.

• Why do we like chocolate more than our parents do?

• Does light travel faster than sound?

In everyday conversation, the less formal is:

• You speak faster than him.
• We like chocolate more than he does. I like this exercise though. I
• use them to describe my workout. I see no harm in it. What’s going to happen, and what should I do? Although some people use, like other

people, the more formal comparative forms, such as a verb, a syllable, a verb and a vowel, they don’t want to use them. Please note: When they use a comparative form, it is easier to understand the more formal formal form. The informal one is not acceptable in formal writing. “Your piece is formal writing.”

And that’s the pattern for formal comparatives versus colloquial usage.
