"then"... where do you put it?
|
Hi everybody,
I �m marking some tests and I was wondering:
1. See you at three then.
2. Then see you at three.
I �m sure about the first sentence, it sounds correct and natural, but what about the second? Does the position of " then" sound natural? Or, at least, is it acceptable?
Thanks and all the best,
Chiara

You just need to check the punctuation in the second one, I think.

hi there!
I think you need a comma in the 2 one, don �t you? All the same, it sounds better the 1 one

see you at 3 then = ok see you at 3
then see you at 3 = after that see you at 3

Hmmmm...
I don �t want to confuse but...
I think both of them are all right to say, the second one is the same as the first: "OK then, see you at three."
As for the commas, I think the second one needs the comma, not the first one. (Or both?..) |

Hi Lana,
"Ok then, see you at three" is a good solution for the second sentence, thanks. The first one is ok just as it is, i think...
Thanks again,
Chiara
