Than Or Then
Emma | Aug 26, 2009 | Comments 6
It seems like I am using the word than frequently in my writing. In fact, I have been using the word so much that I began to wonder if I was using it correctly. So here is a simple grammar brush up. This post is mostly for myself, but there may be a few of you out there who have had the same issue.
Than – is used to indicate comparison; My blog post is longer than your blog post.
Then – is used to indicate time; I wrote my blog post then I wrote some more.
I found a nice little web site that is packed full of useful tips for these kinds of issues. So if you want to brush up on your grammar and word usage you can always check out Dr. Grammar.

Great tips! I often find myself using “THAN” and THEN realizing I made a mistake and changing it to “THEN” and wondering if I used it improperly.

Great tip. I will check out the Dr. Grammar site. I find myself tripping up with affect and effect, and I have to watch out for past and passed too. Thanks for the information.
