Correct/Incorrect
I liked the birthday cake you made me better than when you called me names. |
Incorrect.
Two things being compared: 1. the birthday cake you made me 2. when you called me names It is wrong to compare a thing (cake) with a period of time (when something happened). To correct the error, we can eliminate "when" or use "when" for both parts. |
