1) They were more children than grown-ups.
2) They were more children than us.

3) They were too much children to understand the situation.

4) He was more a child than an adult.
5) He was more a child than me.

6) He was too much a child to understand the situation.

Which, if any, are grammatical?
Which are idiomatic?

'Child' and 'children; are used here as adjectives. They
basically mean 'childlike'. I doubt any of the sentences
are idiomatic.

Thanks Peter.

It is good to have you back. I am having problems with my captcha too.
I am going to see if I can find the icon you talked about in your other post.
