A particle expressing comparison ,
used after certain adjectives and adverbs which express comparison or diversity ,
as more ,
better ,
other ,
otherwise ,
and the like .
It is usually followed by the object compared in the nominative case .
Sometimes ,
however ,
the object compared is placed in the objective case ,
and than is then considered by some grammarians as a preposition .
Sometimes the object is expressed in a sentence ,
usually introduced by that ;
as ,
I would rather suffer than that you should want .
