Expert Answer
1. The correct sentence is: You are richer than I.
This sentence uses than as a conjunction, but when you use the subject pronoun I, it implies you "You are richer than I am". The "than me" version introduces ambiguity. There is an understood verb at the end, that says, "richer than I am".
For example:
For example:
- Shawn likes Peter more than me.
- Goerge prefers John to me.
- Goerge likes John more than I like John.
or
The best way to get around this is to treat than as a conjunction and not as a preposition as stated in the second sentence.
2. He is richer thaan you are.
