心得:than 難點總結:
一、后接人稱代詞用主格還是賓格
than既可作連詞也可作介詞
后接人稱代詞時,可用主格也可用賓格女揭。通常在正式文體中多用主格蚤假,在口語或非正式文體中多用賓語栏饮。

2. 不是連接兩個非謂語動詞航罗,則其后出現的動詞通常用動名詞形式(雖然也可用不定式,但不如用動名詞普通)屁药。如:

=City dweller have a higher death rate than do country people.
城市居民死亡率比農村居民高雇逞。
五荤懂、引導比較狀語從句且從句中充當成分

我們不想做不必要的事情掉蔬。

*than后的expected為省略結構:

他們有勇無謀肩民。

倘若我們把情況告訴他,那可能弊多利少链方。
