well, I think there is something wrong within the structure of this sentence. I think there is extra "is". Am I wright? Sam is angrier than Stacey is about the situation. |

Am I right?
Including 'is' in that sentence isn't wrong. It just completes the comparison but omitting 'is' would be acceptable.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. But, I can not understand the role of the second "is". Best regards, Ghada |

As I said , including the second 'is' you complete the balance of the two sentences: Sam is angrier than Stacey is (angry understood).
