Difference between than and then

Here’s another difference between post. These are some of the most popular content on my blog.

It’s fairly common for even native English speakers to confuse “than” and “then”. The difference is stark and easy to remember.

“Then” is always used in reference to a sequence of events, as in:

We went to the store, then we came home

“Than”, on the other hand, is used to compare things, as in:

My dad is stronger than your dad.

A trick to remembering them is “then” has an “e”, and “event” starts with an “e”.
