Okay, people, here is advice, straight from my Grammar teacher.

Woman = 1 person, like man.
Example : The woman had to use the restroom.
Women = 2 people, like men.
Example : The group of women met up at a spa.

Then = afterward
Example : First eat, then do your homework.
Than = comparison
Example : He was taller than his friend.

You're = short for you are
Example : You're working too many hours lately.
Your = possesion
Example : You left your book in the store.

We're = we are
Example : We're a great team.
Were = being
Example : Where were you?

They're = short for they are
Example = They're nice boys.
Their = possesion.
Example = The boys brought their lunch to the park.
There = direction.
Example = "Park there," her mother commanded.

For the next bit, include They're, there and their. I always seem to be correcting that for my friend.

I will definitly be checking back time and time again for the then/than. I always mess up there!

Thanks so much for this advice. Although I was an English major in college... I still get some things wrong on a consistent basis. For example... when to the apostrophe in before an "s". I know if it's short for "He is" then it's he's, and so on. But what about posessive. Like the bike belongs to Billy. Is it Billys bike, or Billy's bike? I used to always use the "'", but sometimes I do and people say I'm wrong. Sigh... could be why they say the English language is the hardest one to learn, eh? LOL. Thanks again for these reminders.
