THAN or THEN???? THAN is a conjunction used in COMPARISONS: - Tom is smarter than Bill. - This is more important than you think. - Is she taller than you? Yes, she is taller than me. THEN has several meanings: 1. At that point in time - I wasnt ready then. - Will you be home at noon? Ill call you then. 2. Next, afterward - I went to the store, and then to the bank - Do your homework and then go to bed 3. In addition, also, on top of that - He told me he was leaving, and then that I owed him money - It cost $5,000, and then theres tax too 4. In that case, therefore (often with if) - If you want to go, then youll have to finish your homework. - Im hungry! Then you should eat. SUMMARY: THAN is only used in comparisons, so if youre comparing something use THAN. If not, then you have to use THEN. What could be easier than that?
