  1. BY: Nick Elia and Julia Olek (group 7) COMMON USAGE ERRORS!

  2. Than vs. Then C O M P THAN R E Than compares two things! Remember, there is an A in compare to match the A in than!

  3. Than vs. Then Then is used to represent time! I am going to the store, then I am going to make dinner. T I M THEN

  4. Their/There/They’re • The word “their” contains the word heir. Heirs, like kings and queens, possess things, just like their shows possession! The king and queen love their crowns!

  5. Their/There/They’re • There tells you where something is! • The word there has “here” right in it. • Where is Meghan’s rubber duck? There is Meghan’s rubber duck!

  6. Their/There/They’re • There is a contraction (they +are) • To know if you’re using “they’re” correctly, change “they’re” to “they are” and see if it still makes sense! • They’re very nice people! -They are very nice people!

  7. To/Too/Two • To is a preposition or is used to show the infinitive form of a verb. • Give it to her. • I want to run.

  8. To/Too/Two • Too is used to show excess or mean “as well” • Too has more o’s, so you use it when meaning more! • I ate too much at Thanksgiving this year.

  9. To/Too/Two • Two is a number, and you only use it when describing something numerically. • My two favorite classes are English and government.
