Then or Than

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a fill-in-the-blank exercise that focuses on distinguishing between the words “then” and “than.” The students are instructed to circle the correct word to complete each sentence provided on the sheet. These sentences are structured in a way that they require the use of either “then,” which is often used to denote a sequence of events, or “than,” which is used for making comparisons.

The goal of this worksheet is to teach students the proper use of “then” and “than,” which are commonly confused words in English. It aims to enhance the students’ understanding of the difference in meaning and usage between these two words, thereby improving their grammar and writing clarity. Through this exercise, students will learn to identify whether a sentence requires a temporal reference or a comparative one and choose the appropriate word accordingly. This is an important aspect of language that contributes to more precise and effective communication.
