Grammar Post

So I am getting a early jump on my grammar post this week so I don't forget to do it. My issue this week is rather and easy one. It has to do with when you use than rather than then. If then is required then when do you it? When comparing two objectives then you use than, but like the then in the last statement,  then you use then when comparing time.

To make that a little less confusing, use then when time is involved. 
EX: I went to the store, then I went home.

You use than when you are comparing two things.
EX: I rather eat chocolate ice cream than vanilla.

A challenge for anyone who leaves a comment. Try to come up with a more confusing way to explain than and then. You must use then and than correctly when stating when then would be used and when than would be used!
