Grammar

Other than in conjunction with "other", and archaic usages, I would say not. But another member may be more imaginative.

After a couple of minutes' thought, the only examples I can come up with are "other than" and "different than" (I wouldn't personally use the latter -- I'd normally say "different from" -- but I think it's more common in American English).

"I don't know any languages other than English."

"Why should he be any different than the rest of us?"

There may well be other examp

... a further thought ... apparently "rather" is by derivation a comparative form of "ready", but in modern English it doesn't seem to have quite the same nature as the ordinary comparatives ("more", "better", "easier" etc.), so perhaps uses with "rather" might count.

"I'll have the fish rather than the steak."

"I'd rather starve than eat this muck."

Hi,

Would you consider

'We had no sooner arrived than it started to rain'?
