How do you punctuate which vs that?

Use "which" with a comma before it if the information it provides is non-essential, meaning the sentence still makes sense without it. Use "that" without a comma if the information is essential to the sentence's meaning. Example: "I bought a car, which was blue." (non-essential, use a comma) "I like cars that are fast." (essential, no comma)


Do you use Then or Than in the sentence I'm better then them?

The correct grammatical arrangement would be 'I am better than them'. If you want a comparison of the two words and their spelling, consider this sentence. 'If I win THEN I will have resounding proof I am better THAN them' 'Then' is used to show a specific time or situation (in this case after your resounding victory) and 'than' is used to compare you vs them (you will be better).

What kind of external conflict is the sentence is the sentence an example of?

To determine the type of external conflict represented in a sentence, we would need to analyze the specific details and context provided in that sentence. External conflicts typically involve a struggle between a character and an outside force, such as another character (man vs. man), society (man vs. society), nature (man vs. nature), or technology (man vs. technology). If you can provide the sentence in question, I can help identify the specific type of external conflict it exemplifies.
