rahter than ,a conjunction or a prep?
which part of speechi is it ?
We ought to check up,rather than just accepting what he says.
My book says in this case "rather than "serves as prep, can "accepting" be changed into accept?
And what is the difference among "He ran rather than walked.;He ran rather than walk; and .He ran rather than walking"?
I felt very confused about it ,thank you..

- which part of speech is it ?
- We ought to check up, rather than just accepting what he says.
- My book says in this case "rather than "serves as prep, can "accepting" be changed into accept?
- In his case, yes, it is a preposition (meaning "instead of").
- And you can change it to say "accept," but then it becomes a conjunction (meaning "a contrary choice"): We ought to check up [on him], rather than just accept what he says.
