tips about English language

I am no English expert and make tons of mistakes, but here are couple of tips that I want to share.

Then vs than
The answer of “when” is “then”. Notice the similarity in spelling. This simple technique will help you remember when to use the word “then”, and when to use the word “than”.

Tlk is better then x2 is incorrect
Tlk is better than x2 is correct.

There vs their
Similar tip can be applied when confused between “there” and “their”. Answer of “where” is “there”. If your remember that similarity in spelling, then you won’t make a mistake.

Re: tips about English language

One common mistake I see people making around GS:

You're supposed to use present tense with "did."

What did you eat today? = correct
What did you ate today? = incorrect

I didn't drink water today = correct
I didn't drank water today = incorrect

Re: tips about English language

So if you’re talking about a single point, then it should be:

You didn’t make** a **good point.

Plural: You didn’t make any good points.
