1a)the buses run more often than the trains .
1b)the buses run more often than the trains run.

2a)i am taller than you.
2b)i am taller than you are.


The meaning is the same, but the first sentence,(a) would be better . The second one(b), is clumsy.

3a)we were busier today than usually.
3b)we were busier at work today than usually.
3c)we were busier than usually.

Almost the same. But the first on emphasis on today, not any day like this. And the second one emphasis on the work, that means just more busier at work, but not for other things.

the buses run more often than the trains . OK
the buses run more often than the trains run. 基本上OK. 不過很少人
咁講.

i am taller than you. OK.
i am taller than you are. OK.同上句一樣. 通常咁講係加強語氣.

we were busier today than usually. 不對
we were busier at work today than usually. 不對
we were busier than usually. 不對
- busier是用來比較,很多時侯後面是 than.
- 應用usual, 不是usually
正確是
we were busier than usual today.
或
we were busier than usual at work today.
或
we were busier than usual.


thanks thanks 一個就夠
thankssss 冇呢個字
thank you OK. 多謝
thank you very much OK. 十分多謝


could you speak a bit more slowly? 不對
could you speak a bit slowly? 不對
could you speak more slowly? 不對
- You speak slowly. 你講得慢. 用slowly (adverb) 是OK. 但
你這裏是要求對方講慢一些,就不應用slowly.
- 用slow 作比較時是slower, 不是 more slow.
正確是:
could you speak a bit slower?
或
could you speak a little bit slower?
或
could you speak slower?

it's expensive. OK. 它是昂貴的
it's much expensive. 不對 much 不是用來比較, 應是it's more expensive.
它是比較昂貴
it's much more expensive. OK.它是貴很多.


Hope this helps...

應該沒分別 但我會寫這句
the buses run more often than the trains do.

應該沒分別 但我會寫這句
i am taller than you are.

we were busier today than usually.錯

thanks 一個thanks就可以了
thankssss 有這個字嗎
thank you 對
thank you very much 'very much'加強語氣

could you speak a bit more slowly? 'a bit'少許
could you speak a bit slowly? 錯
could you speak more slowly? 對 但沒有說明程度 如第一句

it's much expensive. 錯
it's much more evpensive. 對 有比較及用'much'加強語氣
it's expensive. 對 但沒有比較 只是一句普通句子
