分析My home is farther from the school than yours is.(省略is) He is older than I.(...than I am )
My home is farther from the school than yours is.
He is older than I.
都是语法书上的原句,但是第一句总觉得is多余,应该可以去掉吧?
第二句后面能不能加am
than 是介词,后面跟宾格,也可以跟对称结构

不多余,这是传统英语中最正规的说法.
其实than是个连词,后面接的是比较状语从句,这个从句往往以省略句的形式出现,如果把它补充完整,就是:
My home is farther from the school than yours is far.
He is older than I am old.
但实际上没有人这样说.人们都会省略与主句相似的成分,有的人觉得省略得太厉害了就不正规了,就保留系动词be;但口语中大多数人连 be动词都省略的;更有甚者,有的人把than后面的从句的主语都改成宾格了.如:
Bill is shorter than I (am). = Bill is shorter than me.
She is as slim as I (am). = She is as slim as me.
