The English language has many tricky words and phrases. Two such phrases are “more than” and “more then.” Let’s learn how they are different and how to use them correctly.
“Than” and “then” have been in English for a long time. “Than” comes from old English and is used to compare things. “Then” also comes from old English and is used to talk about time or the order of events.
“More than” is used to compare two things. It shows that one thing is greater or larger than another.
“More then” is not a correct phrase in English. “Then” is used to talk about what happens next, but “more” does not work with “then” like this. Remember not to use “more then” together.
To remember the difference, think that “than” is used for comparing and “then” is used when talking about time. “More than” compares, and “then” tells when something happens.
“More than” is used for showing comparison between two items or ideas. “More then” is incorrect. Use “then” when you are talking about time or sequence. Remember: “Than” for comparing, “Then” for time order.
