I came across this statement.
She runs faster than I.
She runs faster than do I.
She runs faster than I do.
- All correct - The first is best because it is the most concise. There is no need for the "do" in this case because there subject pronoun "I" is clearly being compared with the subject "she." A verb such as "do" or "does" or "is" is necessary after "than" only when there are both a subject and an object before.
But according to me "She runs faster than I" is completely incorrect, basically subjective I instead of objective me. The correct sentence should be "She runs faster than me"

What do you guys say...

We can only compare actions to actions or people to people. We can't compare a person to an action.

So, "she runs faster than me" is comparing how she runs to me, a person.

"She runs faster than I do" is comparing how she runs to how I run - an acceptable comparison.

Stuart, what about the below 2? is "do I" a true way to state this? Thanks

She runs faster than do I.
She runs faster than I do.

She runs faster than do I.
She runs faster than I do.
It's gramatically correct, but a more poetic/archaic phrasing - something less likely to appear on the GMAT.
