I had a post earlier about condensing sentences. I cannot find any rules in grammar books about this topic.
I am not sure how to condense some sentences.
For exmple,
(1A) I know how to write novels better than I know how to cook.
(1B) I know how to write novels better than how to cook.
(2A) I want to be an artist more than I want to be a singer.
(2B) I want to be an artist more than to be a singer.
Because I am not a native English speaker, I cannot tell whether the (B) sentences are grammatically correct.
Please explain any rules for condensing sentences in a grammatically correct way. Thanks a lot.
