i think that's right too.....we use than in comparative and then we use as a link word. we don't use then as a comparative

It`s bigger than his.

"Than" is a conjunction used after comparative adjectives and adverbs, after expressions of preference, etc.

"Then" is an adverb of time, which means "at that time", "in that case", "as a consequence", "immediately or soon afterward"

Hi,

the answer is than, we have a comparative form "bigger".

Bye:-D

I guess 'then' is right....... but i really dont know the real difference and i often make this mistake whenever i am writing any article, stories etc...... :-?

of course, the answer is than

Than is correct. Than refers to the comparison of a noun, in your case yours comparing his.

It`s bigger than his.

Than is a conjunction [ used in the comparative degree of adjectives ] and then is an adverb of time meaning at that time.

hi.
the correct aswers is
"than"

Than is :tick:

Exactly than suits more:lol:

The answer is than
Iam sure :-D

i found this while browsing wsu.edu about recent topic :

When comparing one thing with another you may find that one is more appealing “than” another. “Than” is the word you want when doing comparisons. But if you are talking about time, choose “then“: “First you separate the eggs; then you beat the whites.” Alexis is smarter than I, not “then I.”

according to this article,i'd rather choose 'than' than "then"......lol...:lol:
