In this episode, Linda takes a look at the differences between “then” and “than”. Enjoy the episode! <br /> <br />Linda is a German/American ITTT alumna, teaching English in South Korea. <br /> <br />Be sure to like and share this video if you find it helpful. <br /> <br />This mistake is one of the most common ones – even for native English speakers. <br /> <br />Let’s take a look at this sentence: <br /> <br />My car is better then yours. <br /> <br />Does this look right to you? Nope, sorry. It should be ‘than’. <br /> <br />‘Than’ is a conjunction used to compare things, whereas ‘then’ is an adverb used to situate actions in time, such as here: <br /> <br />I woke up, and then I took a shower. <br /> <br /> <br />The next time you’re using ‘then/than’ in a sentence, ask yourself whether it is used to sequence actions or to compare things and you’ll definitely get it right. <br /> <br />That’s it for today! See you next time!
