Then is also used to indicate what happens or happened next, or what should be done next, as in the following sentences: First I went to the store, and then I got gas. Finish your homework, and then you can watch TV. Turn right at the next street, then turn left at the light.

We make sentences in the simple present tense by using the first form of the verb. Note that when the subject is a singular noun or pronoun, the verb takes the marker –s in the simple present tense. We make present continuous tense forms by putting is, am or are before the –ing form of the verb.

Defining Then Then is commonly used as an adverb, adjective, or noun to indicate time: Will you meet me then? We contacted the then governor of Arkansas.

Never use ‘and then’. However, my word processor auto-corrects ‘then’ to ‘and then’. Perform task 1, task 2, then task3. works either way when ‘then’ is an adverb.

Please do not use “and/or” in either formal or informal writing. In common English, the “or” is a “non-exclusive or” which means “either A or B, or A and B”. When I say “I can have a banana OR I can have coffee” then I am also OK with having both.

And/or, however, is not ambiguous at all. It has a definite, agreed-upon meaning: when used properly, the construct means “A or B or both.” In most areas of law, there simply is no compelling reason to avoid using and/or. The term is clear and concise.
