Who and Whom Part 3

RULE 23:     Double comparative and double superlatives must not be
                      Used.

He is more wiser than his brother (incorrect)

He is wiser than his brother (correct)

RULE 24:  When comparative degree is used in superlative sense, it is Followed by ‘any other’

Umer Gul is better than any bowler (incorrect)

Umer Gul is better than any other bowler (correct)

Example 21:

1:  this flower is more beautiful than any flower in this garden. No error

2: this house is bigger than any other house in this street. No error

RULE 25:   pronoun in comparison

To find the correct pronoun in a comparison, as in “Jahangir runs faster than (him, he),” first complete the comparison with the verb that would follow naturally. That will tell you which pronoun to use.

Jahangir runs faster than he runs.

My brother has bigger feet than I do.

Because you would never say “Jahangir runs faster than him runs” or “my brother has bigger feet than me do,” the correct pronoun is she and I:

Jahangir runs faster than he runs.

My brother has bigger feet than I

Apply the same principle to comparison using as.

Kashif as tough as he is.

He is twice as fast as they are.

The department could use a stronger leader such as she is.

A man such as I am could solve the problem.           

Example 22:

Bilal admitted that he has less money than I.

1: Bilal admitted that he has less money than I.

2: Bilal admitted that he has fewer money than I

3: Bilal admitted that he has less money than me.

4: Bilal admitted that he has less money than I

4: Bilal admitted that he has fewer money than me.
