* Missing Verb: The sentence needs a verb to indicate what Mary does in relation to Jack. For example, "Mary is younger than Sue but is older than Jack."
* Unclear Relationship: The phrase "but jack Mary" doesn't make sense grammatically. It needs to be structured with a verb and a clear comparison.
To fix it, we need to know what the relationship between Mary and Jack is. Here are some possibilities:
* "Mary is younger than Sue but is older than Jack."
* "Mary is younger than Sue but is taller than Jack."
* "Mary is younger than Sue but is closer to Jack."
Once you provide the missing information, we can create a grammatically correct and understandable simple sentence.
