※ 引述《fizeau (FADE INTO OBLIVION)》之銘言: : I just saw a question over the Eng-Class board : about the usage of "rather". : And I cannot help but trying, again as usual, to figure about : whether it is used in the context of comparative sense or just : it does not matter anyway. : The reason for my agonizing over this conundrum is partly "rather" : often goes with "than", but the online Webster dictionary says "rather" : is an adverb. : If I should check it in the grammar textbook ? : Anyway I have not made out a way to approach it yet. rather is an adverb I would rather not go. than is conjunction Thus, "rather than" has the comparative sense. -- Lives come and go, Bliss is nothing but so. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.217.219.198
