　　13-3 比較形的用法

　　大多數(shù)比較級句子里會有than，以下是一些例子：

　　His car is cheaper than your car.

　　He is the most diligent student in his class.

　　I like apples more than oranges.

　　He has more money than his brother.

　　He is stronger than his brother.

　　必須注意的是以下的句子是錯的：

　　*I am older than him.

　　*She is smarter than me.

　　為什么錯了呢?因為原來句子應該是：

　　I am older than he (is).

　　She is more smart than I (am).

　　習慣上的is和am都省略掉的，由以上的解釋可以看出，than后面的句詞應該是主詞，而非受詞。

　　以下的錯誤，也請?zhí)貏e注意：

　　*My head is larger than your.

　　正確的句子是：

　　My head is larger than your head.

　　或者My head is larger than yours.

　　*My house is larger than your.
