The Poll

Which word best completes the sentence:
Phil is taller _____ Rachel.

then
than
to

The correct choice is than.
Phil is taller than Rachel.


These are two of the most misused words in the written English language!!

Then /adverb/ at that time, next, after that, in that case, used to continue a thought or idea.
You wash the dishes, then I will dry them.

Than /conjunction/ a comparison of another.
English is harder than I expected.
