Exercise 128—Than, as
Than and as are not prepositions but conjunctions. They are used to introduce subordinate clauses. Usually the clause is incomplete, but the omitted part is easily understood from the preceding clause and must be supplied to show the case of the noun or the pronoun that is expressed; as,
Right: She is as tall as I [am].
Right: She is taller than he [is].
Right: I should invite you rather than her [than I should invite her].
Use the correct one of the italicized pronouns in the following sentences:
1. I'll agree that he is richer than I—me, but riches are not everything.
2. I shall send her rather than he—him.
3. No one felt sorrier than she—her.
4. No one knows more about an automobile than he—him.
5. You are more capable of doing the work than he—him.
6. We were nearer the goal than you or he—him.
