 Then versus then. This mistake is one of the most common ones, even for native English speakers. Let's take a look at this sentence. My laptop is better than yours. Does this look right to you? Nope, sorry. It should be then. Then is a conjunction used to compare things, whereas then is an adverb used to situate actions in time, such as here. I wrote an email, then I read a book, and then I called my friend. The next time you're using then or then in a sentence, ask yourself whether it is used to sequence actions, or to compare things and you'll definitely get it right. That's it for today. See you next time.
