The usage of 'then' while ending a sentence
Hi,
Is this correct:
He should be able to meet with you, then.
Is comma necessary before 'then?' Or, can we do away with it to make it: He should be able to meet with you then.

"Then" means "at that time," There must be some reference for the specific time. for example:
Please call him and make an appointment. He will meet with you then.(Then means "at the time of the appointment")
"Then" has other meanings such as "next", or "after that".
She went to the school to pick up her kids, and then (after that) she did some shopping.
Please call him and make an appointment. He will meet with you then.(Then means "at the time of the appointment")
