Now it's not so much a speaking mistake but it's a writing a spelling mistake that a lot of students make and I want you to fix it.

It's the difference between then th A M and then T H E N.

Now, as you can hear the sound is practically the same but the spelling is different.

So you need to know the difference.

Let's take a look at two example sentences.

First we have john is taller than sarah.

So in this case we have then T H A N, which is a word that we use for comparisons.

Okay, when we want to compare two things, john is taller than Sarah.

I am more beautiful than you.

Okay, in this case you will use T H A N.

Now if we look at the second sentence, I went to school then I went home now in this case then is spelled T H E N and has a very different meaning we use then th E N as a word to mark a sequence of actions.

Okay, so it's a time word that we use in english, I went to school first action and then I went home second action.

Okay, so two different meanings, different spellings and it's a very common writing mistake.

My students keep making this mistake and it drives me crazy.

Okay, so I hope that you now know the difference between the two words.

Please be good students avoid that horrible english mistake.

Thank you very much.
