Are you confused over "than" and "then" ?  They sound alike, but they are completely different.

 

We use "than" when we are making a comparison.

E.g.

She is thinner than her sister.

 

We use "then" when we are referring to point in time.

E.g.

First, boil the eggs, then remove the egg shells.

 

Tip

One strategy to remember which is which is to think about the words "comparison" and "time".

There's an "a" in "comparison", so your child should use "than".

Similarly, use "then" because there's an "e" in "time".
