“It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.”
Miyamoto Musashi
Which one is correct?
My brother is taller than me.
Or
My brother is taller than I.
Both sentences are common, but they’re not equally correct in formal grammar:
1. My brother is taller than me. ✅
This is the way most native speakers say it in everyday conversation. It’s perfectly natural in spoken English.
2. My brother is taller than I. ✅ (formal)
This is grammatically correct if you understand it as “My brother is taller than I am.”
It sounds more formal or old-fashioned, so people rarely use it in casual speech.
👉 So:
In spoken English: “My brother is taller than me” is more common.
In formal writing (essays, exams, etc.): “My brother is taller than I” is safer.
