This blog post is part of a series of posts that aim to correct common English grammar mistakes.
Let’s move on from the apostrophes now. “Then” and “Than” look and sound very similar but they actually mean different things, but people always get them confused. “Then” is related to time and is used when something follows on from something else or happens after it.
For example -
“I will go to an English language school then I will be able to speak English” = correct
“I will go to an English language school than I will be able to speak English” = incorrect
“Than” is used when comparing one thing to another.
For example -
“That car is bigger than your car” = correct
“That car is biggerthen your car” = incorrect
