106. Than and as Object pronouns (me, him, her etc) can be used after as and than, especially in an informal style.
• She is taller than me.
• He earns as much as her.
• She doesn't sing as well as him.
In a formal style, we prefer subject + verb after as and than
• She is taller than I am.
• He earns as much as she does.
• She doesn't sing as well as I do.
Note that a subject form without a verb (e.g. than I) is unusual in this structure in modern English.
• He ran as fast as me. OR He ran as fast as I did. (More natural than ‘He ran as fast as I’.)
