Can you please tell me whether I should use anyone or anyone else in the following sentences? I cannot decide which one I should use. Can anyone please tell me the rule?



Here are the examples:



1- Kate's voice is so nice. She can sing sad songs better than anyone (else) does.



2- Peter trusts me more than he trusts anyone (else)

Both are good and are used commonly, but only for 1st sentence, you better use "anyone else" as Kate's voice does have someone to compare with.
