Hi, there.

See the following sentences.
Which is better?

A1. English is easier than math for me.
A2. English is easier for me than math.

B1. English is more difficult than French for me.
B2. English is more difficult for me than French.

I'm looking forward to your answer.

Thanks. Razz

this gets complicated.

A1 is more proper, because you are supposed to address youreself last.
A2 is more common... I dont know why

again B1 is more proper
Again B2 is more common.

as well as that, you would not say: "see the following sentences" you would say "look at the following sentences." because See is present tence and look at is future tence

hope it helps
