❄️ The 'Some' Secret

In this text, the word "Some" is used to talk about groups without being too specific. This is a perfect A2 trick to avoid listing every single person or thing.

How it works:

  • Some are from Europe \rightarrow Not all desserts, just a few.
  • Some chefs mix ideas \rightarrow Not every chef in the world, just a specific group.

🛠️ Building Fast Sentences

Look at this phrase: "This way is faster."

To describe things at an A2 level, we add -er to the end of short words to compare two things:

Fast \rightarrow Faster Old \rightarrow Older Cold \rightarrow Colder

Example from text: "This way is faster" (meaning: faster than using eggs and heat).


🍎 Common Word Pairs
