"then" and "than"

I really get confused when to use which word, I often use the wrong one. Will someone please explain to me when to use then and when to use than?

I am going to the store and ' then ' I am coming home.

I like her better ' than ' you.

Silly scentences but that is the way it works.

then- its used when your talking about a certain point in time likeLets go get icecreame 'then' we'll go home.

than- its used when your comparing things like 'Pink is better 'than' blue.

see simple as that=]

than is compairing things...then is like time (ie, then, I ate a sandwich)

then is time, than is a comparison.

take what cmwebb just said to remember,
thEn is timE (e's)
thAn is compArison (a's)
might help, might not.

Then is used when an action has taken place or will take place and will be followed by another action. For example: we will go to the shop then daniel will go home.Than is used to compare things. For example: My dog is bigger than yours.

Well, your question's been answered, but often we use then as the beginning of the second part of a sentence whose first part begins with if. The if/then construction should help you to test your usage at least.

WHEN YOU USE THEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU ARE going to DO AFTER ANOTHER THING...LOOK:
IM going to DO MY HOMEWORK AND then IM going to GO TO BED

AND YOU USE THAN WHEN YOU WANT TO COMPARE SOMETHING...:

YOU ARE OLDER than ME.

DONT WORRY I USUALLY CONFUSE STUPID THINGS OF THE GRAMMAR CAUSE I REALLY DONT SPEAK ENGLISH, IM JUST LEARNING, I STARTED DTUDING ENGLISH 5 YEARS AGO

SORRY: STUDING

Then deals with time (I'm going to the store, then the flower shop) while than deals with comparison (I'd rather go to the store than the flower shop).

get it?

***'Then' deals with time (I'm going to the store, then the flower shop) while 'than' deals with comparison (I'd rather go to the store than the flower shop).***
