Then vs. Than

Which then/than would be used in the sentence below?

"I've learned more in my short time reporting to you then I have in my year here."

Thanks!!!

Re: Then vs. Than

"I've learned more in my short time reporting to you then than I have in my year here."

It should be the preposition "than". It's a comparative construction in which "more" and "than" are in construction together. It means:

I've learned x in my short time reporting to you"; I've learned y in my year here"; x > y.

Does that answer your question?
