Then\Than

[sirtwosays]

I get these confused sometimes too

 

[iZicci]

This is a basic use of comparatives.

Less difficult than you think.

 

[mickel]

the case does not need think... because then its mean "too or so or ....."

so (or then) the correct solution is "than"

 

[Just a man]

[bebe heart]

Than

 

[hufflepuff]

then: at that time


THAN :used as a function word to indicate the second member or the member taken as the point of departure in a comparison expressive of inequality —used with comparative adjectives and comparative adverbs

This speacially confuses beginners so i thought a dictionary definition might help also.

The answer is than. It's bigger than his.

Thenis mainly an adverb, often used to situate actions in time. For example, you wake up in the morning and then have breakfast.
Than is a conjunction used mainly in making comparisons—e.g., “My breakfast is better than yours”; “I make breakfast [FONT=Georgia, serif]differe[/FONT][FONT=Georgia, serif]ntly than[/FONT] you do.”

[Mina4395]

I think the answer is "than"
"Than" is a conj. and it means to compare something
For example: Elephants are bigger than ants.

 

[John Steve]

I am always confused in then and than but my answer is correct. and also ''Than" is used to compare two things

 

[emsr2d2]

I am always confused in by "then" and "than" but my answer is correct. and Also, "than" is used to compare two things.

Note my corrections above. Out of curiosity, what variant/dialect of American English do you speak that led you to write "confused in", rather than "confused by"? I've never seen that from a native English speaker.
