Sentence:

My Lecture told me word than should be replace with word to & also word me should replaced with word I.

    There are two "than"s in the sentence. I assume your instructor wanted the first one to be replaced with "to", but I think you should make it clear by writing the instructor's preferred version of the sentence (I'm guessing it is "Though I am elder to my Brother by five years, he is more successful in life than I").

  • @sumelic Either that, or the OP has typoed elder for older.

  • @DhanrajKumar Do you know what an objective pronoun is?

    You would use "I" rather than "me" because there is an implied "am" there. You haven't put the verb there, but it's impliedly there. i.e. "he is more successful in life than I [am]."

  • @P.E.Dant Thank you! By the way, I want to make certain to indicate that implying "am" here is perfectly acceptable. It can be stated, but it is commonly implied in similar situations in English, both written and spoken.
