Ever stumble over 'then' and 'than'? You're not alone! These tricky twins can trip up even seasoned writers. Let's break down when to use each one.
'**Then**' is all about *time* or *sequence*. Think of it as indicating *when* something happens. Examples: 'I'll eat dinner, *then* watch TV.' or 'If you study hard, *then* you'll pass the test.' You can also use 'then' to express a consequence: 'It was raining, *then* the sun came out.'
'**Than**,' on the other hand, is used for *comparisons*. Whenever you're comparing two things, 'than' is your go-to word. For example: 'My car is faster *than* yours.' or 'This cake is sweeter *than* the last one I made.'
Here's a quick tip: If you're talking about *when*, use 'then.' If you're making a *comparison*, use 'than.' Master these simple rules, and you'll never confuse 'then' and 'than' again!
