"I'm busier than usual this week."

  1. Je suis plus occupé(e) cette semaine que normalement/typiquement/d'habitude.

  2. Je suis plus occupé(e) cette semaine que je suis normalement/typiquement/d'habitude.

  3. Je suis plus occupé(e) cette semaine que je le suis normalement/typiquement/d'habitude.

Is it possible to use sentence 1? Or do we have to add "je suis" or "je le suis" as in sentence 2 or 3?

  • You can use 1. or 3., or "4. ... que je ne le suis d'habitude".

Sentence 1 is correct, but to translate the "than usual" part you should use "que d'habitude", the other options sound a bit strange written this way.

You could also translate it this way

Je suis plus occupé(e) que d'habitude cette semaine

Or

Je suis plus occupé(e) qu'à la normale cette semaine

Sentence 3 is ok, but sentence 2 isn't correct.
