Is "other then" ever correct?

Updated 2026-07-10

Then et than : temps contre comparaison

Then concerne le temps ou l'ordre. Than sert aux comparaisons. Ne les inverse pas.

Utilise then pour le temps et la séquence. "We ate dinner, then watched a movie."

Utilise than pour les comparaisons. "She's taller than me."

Astuce mémoire : then a un e comme le temps. Than a un a comme la comparaison.

"Other than" et "rather than" prennent toujours than. "Every now and then" utilise toujours then.

She is taller then me.

She is taller than me.

First we ate, than we left.

First we ate, then we left.

No. The phrase is always "other than" or "rather than."
