问题描述：
My brother doesn't like football.He likes table tennis instead.
My brother likes table tennis()()football.这里为什么用instead,而不用rather than?
答
rather than不能接在句尾，instead 可以
rather than 一般含有虚拟意味
答
我觉得理论上是都可以的，但是要是从上面的句子My brother doesn't like football.He likes table tennis instead.
改到下面的My brother likes table tennis( )( )football
就应该根据题意把instead改成instead of
答
instead of 和 rather than 都表示“而不是”,都是正确答案.
