Hi.
#1 I am older than he (I am older than he is old).
#2 She is taller than I (she is taller than I am tall).
#3 He is a stronger man than I (He is stronger than I am strong).
#4 I spent more time with you than him (I spent more time with you than I spent time with him).
Please help me to check if I have used the correct pronouns for the sentences above.
I understand that "than" can sometimes be used as preposition in spoken form, but most books on styles
are recommending to keep it as a conjunction, and so the need to avoid objective pronoun following the word "than".
