Today a friend of ours came to clarify certain grammar exercises done by his daughter during tuition class. he was worried when her daughter came back showing some papers marked by her tuition teacher.
Well, it was not easy on our part too as grammar is a part of English that creates so much confusion even among grammarians...the so called expert in English.

The sentence goes: He is taller than (her/ she)....she answered her but the teacher said she. Normally, people say he is taller than her, so that was what we told our friend....later when checked, actually the answer was he is taller than she(is).......ha apa ni?

So, ladies and gentlemen, do not think that what you always use is always correct, check first. actually both answers were correct. the only difference is:

He is taller THAN she is correctly used if THAN is used as a conjunction and it is considered true in formal academic purpose but if it is used as a preposition, the sentence should go He is taller than her.....which is informally used, mostly in spoken english..ha pening kan.

Actually no one can really claim that he/she is well-versed in grammar especially when English is not our first language...we must always check and check, study and study, read and read because grammar evolves...just like our BM....

be careful to avoid making mistakes, even a silly one coz it would reflect our ability in mastering the language....
