Objective pronouns in a comparison
Time for grammar lesson.Objective case: "Objective pronouns in a comparison
Use the objective case after 'than' if the pronoun doesn't compare or contrast with the subject, but is being compared or contrasted to an object or complement.
He likes us better than them. (objective case)
This means that he likes us better than he likes them.
He likes us better than they. (subjective case)
This means that he likes us better than they likes us.
Use the objective case after 'than' if the comparison features a noun or pronoun with the adjective.
There is no faster runner than her.
If the sentence included only the adjective FASTER, the pronoun would be subjective (There is no faster than she).
You are a much better artist than him."
