Than I or Than me?

[pcgasparetto]

Friends,

Please, what is the correct form?

"He's older than I." or "He's older than me."

I've heard that the first sentence is correct only if I use the verb TO BE at the end... "He's older than I am." Is that true? What about the second one?

Thanks for your attention,

PC

Both are correct, and what you heard about using I before a form of the verb to be is also correct:

He's older than I. <traditional English>
He's older than me.
He's older than I am.

than me is correct if "me" is the object. the verb would be compared to me. However, if you end with a be verb then u have changed subject order and u need to use ....I am. hope that helps...?
