Where should we place more, less, and fewer in the following sentences?
1. Suppose John has 10 books and Tom has 4 books, can we say "John has 6 more books than Tom (does)" or
"Tom has 6 fewer books than John (does)"?
2. Suppose Mary has 100 dollars and Jane has 70 dollars, can we say "Mary has 30 dollars more than Jane (does)" or
"Jane has 30 dollars less than Mary (does)"?
Thanks a lot.
