Answer: The sentence you provided contains a couple of grammatical errors that commonly occur in English. Let’s break down the sentence and correct it.

  1. Than vs. Then:

    • Then is used to indicate time or sequence, while than is used for comparisons. Since you are comparing the number of presents given, the correct word to use is than.
  2. Myself vs. Me:

    • Myself is a reflexive pronoun, which is used when the subject and object are the same person, as in “I gave myself a treat.” In the sentence provided, myself is incorrectly used as the object of the verb gave. The correct pronoun is me.

The corrected sentence should read: “Mom gave my sister more presents than she gave me.”

By using than and me, the sentence accurately compares the number of presents and uses the correct pronoun. If you’d like further clarification or have more questions, feel free to ask! @anonymous12
