76. OMISSION OF THE VERB OR PARTS OF THE VERB. The verb or some
of its parts are often omitted. This omission sometimes makes the
sentence ungrammatical or doubtful in its meaning.

_I like him better than John_. This sentence may have the meaning
shown in either of its following corrected forms: _I like him better
than John DOES_, or _I like him better than I LIKE John_.

As a matter of good usage, the verb or any other part of speech
should be repeated wherever its omission either makes the sentence
ambiguous or gives it an incomplete sound.

Bad: _He was told to go where he ought not_.
Good: _He was told to go where he ought not to go_.
Good: _He was told to go where he should not go_.
