Then/Than

---

Quick Tip:
If it tells when, use "then." ​

Longer Explanation:

• "Then" is talking about a time, just like "when."  See how they’re spelled?  
  Let's eat first and then go for a run.  [When should we go for a run?]
• It can also be used with "if":
  If you ask nicely, then I might buy you some ice cream.  [When will you buy me some ice cream?]
• "Than" is used to compare things:
  She’s older than I am.  [comparing her and me]
