[khay]

Are these sentences correct:
1-These are cars better than those.
2-These are books more interesting than those.

3-I have a car better than yours.
4-I have books more interesting than yours.

Dear Khay

" All roads lead to Rome, but we have to see which one is
better and more comfortable."

I would probably say:

1- These cars are better than those ones.
2- These books are more interesting than those ones.

Your third and fourth sentences could be used in a friendly conversation. You could aslo say:

1- My car is (far) better than yours.

Hi Khay

You asked:
Are these sentences correct:
1-These are cars better than those.
2-These are books more interesting than those.

3-I have a car better than yours.
4-I have books more interesting than yours.

Sentences 1 + 2 are perfect !

You can also say sentences 3 + 4 the way you wrote them (i.e. omitting the words "that is" and "that are").

Hi Tom

In sentences 1+2 you definitely should not add "ones" to the sentences. :shock:

Thank you Tom and Amy,
How about:
5-These are a lot better cars than those.
6-I have a lot better books than you.

Hi khay

In those 2 sentences, I'd prefer "much" (instead of "a lot").

But you could say "My books are a lot better than yours."
