Day 177: Use subject pronouns in comparisons with implied verbs.
This is easier to demonstrate than explain in technical terms. Consider this sentence:
“I am taller than she/her.”
Which pronoun do you use, “she” or “her”? I often hear people use “her” in cases like this, but this is incorrect. This sentence implies the final verb is, as in “I am taller than she is.” Since the pronoun in question is serving as the subject to the implied verb is, you need a subject pronoun: “she.”
