Grammar
term comparison constructions
Is 'other' a comparative? I don't think so.
If not, than are these wrong or can you use 'Than' after other?
Which is correct and which is wrong? Do I need to change construction?
/ They were killed for no other reason than that their views were different than others.
/ I have other things to do than that.
/ What other thing could they do than sleep at this hour?
/ I wish I'd be able to annoy my neighbors in some other way than by turning the tv up real loud.
The answer I received "Yes, "other" + "than" are used in term comparison constructions."
What does it mean?
Thanks

Hi,
It means all your sentences are perfectly correct. Whoever gave you that answer was probably just trying to answer your question "can you use 'Than' after other?" The answer is yes, you can.
