He had more experience than I did'He had more experience than I did'is translated as ' Il avait plus d'experience que moi' I think that should be a translation of ' He had more experience than me'. Whereas 'Il avait plus d'experience que j'avais' which may not be grammatical or good french (is it? )but does not convert 'than I did', to 'than me'. This kind of approximation in translation whilst necessary in real life is not helpful in the learning process as we are having to guess at what you want .

"on aurait dit un savage" translates to it looked like a savage, but I'm unsure of the rule for that. Is there a lesson on this?
