Okay, I have a question. What is the difference between "then" and "than"? And when would you use "than" as opposed to "then"?
"than" is a comparative word, so you would say, "i am taller THAN you", or "i am older THAN my sister"
then is more of a transition, like, "first i got out of bed. THEN i got dressed."
does that make sense?
then is more of a transition, like, "first i got out of bed. THEN i got dressed."
does that make sense?

But I'm still sort of stuck on some whom/who things, and that way doesn't work for me.
