Are these correct? If not, why?
1. Her beauty is beyond compare.
2. Her beauty is beyond compared. (Why is this wrong? This is not a to-be sentence?
(1) IS CORRECT. 'COMPARE' IS A NOUN, THE OBJECT OF THE PREPOSITION 'BEYOND'. THE PHRASE IS A NOUN COMPLEMENT OF THE SUBJECT, 'HER BEAUTY. 'BE' IS A COPULATIVE VERB.
(2) IS INCORRECT. ADJECTIVES CANNOT BE OBJECTS OF PREPOSITIONS.

I still don't really understand why is this wrong:
3. Her beauty is beyond
compared.
But you can say this:
4. This car is
compared to this car and this car is better.
