Then vs. Than:

 

 

Quote

'Then' and 'than' sound very similar but are slightly different. As such, they are commonly confused in English. Learn the difference between the time expression 'then' and the 'than' which is used in the comparative form.

 

Then is used as a time expression.

 

Examples:

I'll see you then.
I'll be at the party. We can speak then.

Note: It is not used in the form "different than" which is used for comparisons.

 

Than is used for comparisons.

 

Examples:

He's lived here longer than I have.
His skills are very different than mine.

Do you understand the rules? Test your knowledge with this than vs. then quiz.

 

 

Rule of thumb: when in doubt, use "than".

(just thought you'd want to know)... ;)

 

 

I appreciate you keeping my feet out of my mouth.  I still prefer the 2'nd pic though.

 

 

He and I must be very different.  I'm extremely protective of my wife's and children's images on "the net".  I may be a little on the paranoid side though.

Ok, since we're on this topic....

 

Very narrow and specific question.... 

 

Is it "A historic" or "An historic"?

 

I was always told that you use 'a' if the next word starts with a vowel and 'an' if not.  Under that logic it would be "an Apple" verses "a Peach"  (or a historic)

 

what say the experts?

"Your expectations of this crowd to deal with their grammatical mistakes, where they're making their mistakes, are too high presently. You're too demanding of these guys right now."  :P

 

"Wait for their second round of demerits where there are mistakes." :huh:

though i'm sure my opinion will change as my own girls get older. ;)
As you live in Texas, this should not present a hindrance to your expected buildup of shotguns into your home arsenal as your female offspring enter their teens. :ph34r:   Trust me on this.
