Hello,teachers.
Is the following sentence acceptable?
"People in advanced countries live longer than they used to do thanks to the progress of medical technology."
Thank you in advance!

It's acceptable. However, you don't need "do", and I would put a comma after "to". (or after "do" if you keep it) |
