Then is a word that puts things in order by time, or refers to a moment in time: you get up; then you have breakfast. You're married now; back then, you were single.
The word then can also be used as a consequence, often after the word if. If you watch the kids, then I will clean the house. Don't confuse then with than, which sounds similar. Than is used to compare two things: I like spaghetti better than macaroni and cheese. Then is about time or consequence: you eat dinner, then get dessert. If you're good, then maybe you'll get a big dessert.

单词用法
then作“那么”解时常用于句首或句末,用来缓和语气;作“然后”解时常位于and之后,所修饰的词语之前,起连接作用。
这组词的共同意思是“因此;所以;于是”,它们的区别是:
1.so,then和thus是一般用词;accordingly,consequently,hence,therefore和thereupon是正式用词。
2.so和then常用于简洁的日常谈话,语义较轻,只表示因果关系或逻辑顺序,而不一定表示严格的推论关系。
3.accordingly,consequently,hence,therefore,thereupon和thus都表示因果关系。accordingly语气较缓和,常译为“于是”;consequently一般不强调因果间的必然联系,而只是根据逻辑推理得出的结果;hence表示合理的推断,指出原因及其必然结果,但更强调原因;therefore强调因果间的逻辑关系,多用于表示严密推理或精确论证的郑重场合,故常用在数学、逻辑学等领域;thereupon则指“作为…的结果”;thus的意思和hence,therefore相近,但更正式庄重。
4.accordingly常位于(分句)句首或句中;consequently,hence常位于(分句)句首;so只用于分句句首;then常用于分句句首,有时用于句末;therefore和thereupon常用于(分句)句首,有时用于句中;thus常用于(分句)句首。5.consequently,hence,so,then,therefore和thereupon前有时可加and;accordingly前偶尔可加and;thus前一般不可加and。6.hence常引导省略句;thus还可跟现在分词短语表示结果或目的。
but then不过;然而;但另一方面
by then到那时候
then again而且;其次;还有;反之
