Hi
Team,
I
hope since my previous post, we’d use for with duration always.
Today,
let me share the story of Then & Than.
They
are one of the similar sounding words of English Language (or for the most, pronounced
similarly); however, they’re used very differently.
Then
(Adverb):
It has multiple usage, but the most common of it is showing time (to show the
order in which actions/tasks are performed): Once a TM has successfully
completed the training, then we move them to Operations. (We also
use it to show conditions: If you work in XYZ for 5 years, then
you’ll be eligible for gratuity.)
Than
(Conjunction):
It is used only when we’ve to compare. When you are talking about a noun
(thing, person, place or concept) being more, less, better, cooler, hotter,
etc. in relation to another noun, the word than is necessary: The count of TMs
in ABC is more than EFG C2C & Email.
And
there goes my #lesson 2.
Additionally, on the day of Thanksgiving, I’d like
to say thank you to all of you for bearing the Grammar Police
Avatar of me and in turn help me to help us to make English better
