2 rather than的用法

向尊敬的曹老师请教!rather than可以用作准并列连词和复合介词,那么该如何正确使用rather than的词性呢?

1He stayed at home rather than go out

2Many are deprived of their liberty , rather than met with empathy

3She walks rather than runs

4I reasoned rather than quarreled with him.

1句中的rather than为复合介词,后面跟了省略to的不定式作宾语;234句中的rather than为准并列连词,与谓语动词并列。

问题1可以把1句中的rather than看成准并列连词,然后改写成he stayed at home rather than went out 嘛?如果不能,恳请曹老师指出原因。

5I should thank you rather than you thank me.

问题25句为准并列连词,并列两个句子;是不是rather than后接完整的比较分句,主句中的比较项为比较副词rather ;比较对应项在比较分句中作状语,省略了。

1 虽然rather than可以用作准并列连词,但其并列二个一般过去时的谓语动词是十分少见的。只是偶尔可以见到。例如COCA语料库如下例句:Most hindered their work rather than helped it.

2 I should thank you rather than you thank me. 剑桥英语语法认为you thank me是一个不定式分句(不带to的不定式),只不过这个不定式带有主语而已。
