Correct grammar and/or meaning?
This sentence is bothering me because I feel like there is something wrong with it but I cannot pinpoint the issue:
It seems like everyone’s leaving earlier than I can.
Maybe it has to do with a different verb being used after “than” than was used before “than”?

cat aqua 634 Maybe it has to do with a different verb being used after “than” than was used before “than”? Not just "maybe". "Certainly".

- Not just "maybe".
- "Certainly".
- You need "am", not "can".
- I'd write It seems everyone’s leaving earlier than I am.
