rather than 用法要点
1. 用作连词（=but not），意为“而不”“不是……（而是）”“与其……（不如）”，前后连接的成分应该是平行的。如：

2. 由于既可视为连词也可视为介词，所以连接不定式时，后面一个不定式可带to或不带to（视为准并列连词时），也可用动名词（视为介词时）。如：
[3]不定式,动名词,相关知识点look forward to词组中的to是介词，所以其后要加名词或动名词，不能接不定式。［误］ I'm looking forward to see you.［正］ I'm looking forward to seeing you.［析］ look forward to词组中的to是介词，所以其后要加名词或动名词，不能接不定式。
I decided to stay at home rather than (to) go [going] to the cinema. 我宁愿呆在家里也不愿去看电影。
但是，如果rather than 位于句首，其后的不定式通常不带to（也可用动名词）。如：
[4]不定式,动名词,相关知识点这里的句型虽然也是be used to但这里不是主动态，而是被动态，所以不能接动名词而应接不定式。［误］ Oil was used to cooking.［正］ Oil was used to cook.［析］ 这里的句型虽然也是be used to但这里不是主动态，而是被动态，所以不能接动名词而应接不定式。

3. 连接两个成分作主语时，其谓语动词的数通常与前面一个主语保持一致。如：
[6]谓语动词,主语,相关知识点 “many a +名词”作主语时 谓语动词用单数[1]谓语,单数,相关知识点management作主语时谓语用单数还是复数management作主语时谓语用单数还是复数1. 若表示“管理层”“管理人员”，为集合名词；用作主语时，谓语动词可用单数（视为整体）或复数（考虑其个体）。如：The management is having talks with the workers.
