In spoken English it is normal to use object pronouns such as me, him, her, or them after ‘as' or ‘than': 在英语口语中， as或than的后面通常用代词的宾格形式，如me, him, her或them: I can't run as fast as them.我无法像他们跑得那样快。 Henry's older than me. 亨利年纪比我大。 A subject pronoun such as I, he, she, or they is rarely used by itself after ‘as' or ‘than', except in very formal English: 除非在非常正式的英语中， as或than的后面很少单独使用代词的主格形式如I, he, she或they: Henry is taller than I.亨利比我高。

Object pronouns are also normally used after the verb ‘to be' in spoken English: 在英语口语中，代词的宾格形式通常也用于动词to be之后: ‘Who's there?' ‘It's me.'“谁在那儿？”“是我。” I knew it was him 我知道是他。 有些人认为to be后面用代词的主格形式更正确，但这种用法听起来非常正式而且已经过时:. Some people think it is more correct to use subject pronouns after ‘to be', but this sounds very formal and old-fashioned: It is I.是我。 I knew it was he.我知道是他。

In writing, subject pronouns are more often used after the verb ‘to be', especially if there is a following relative clause: 在书面语中，尤其是后接关系从句时， to be后更常用代词的主格形式: It was he who first suggested the idea.是他首先提出了这种观点。
