Hello
You have to be better than them/they.
You look like she OR You look like her.
--- Sometimes I'm confused when to use which: them, they, she, her etc.
I think we say: You have to be better than they (are) and not them (are) the same with like she (looks) not like her (looks)?
thanks

You have to be better than they are.
You look like her.
If there ain't no verb that follows, don't use I/he/she/we/they.
