Are these sentences natural? May 24
Hi,
Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?
1. How would you characterize your clients versus John's?
2. How would you describe your facilities versus those of John’s?
3. He bears a striking resemblance to Tom Hanks.
Thanks,
MG

I would use "compared to" or "as opposed to" instead of "versus".
2. How would you describe your facilities versus those of John’s?
"Those of John", not "John's".
3. He bears a striking resemblance to Tom Hanks.
That sounds fine.
Thanks,
MG
My comments are above. I tried to change the colour of
my comments but couldn'tt do so on my phone.
