Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The Power of 'SOME' and 'OTHER'
In the text, we see a pattern used to group people. This is a great way to describe a crowd or a group at an A2 level.
The Pattern:
Some people... Other people...
Example from the text:
- "Some people talked about mental health."
- "Other people showed how art helps."
Why use this? Instead of saying "and" many times, you use this to show a difference between two groups.
Simple Switch:
Many people liked the food and many people liked the music.- Some people liked the food Other people liked the music.
Quick Tip:
Use Some for the first group and Other for the second group. It makes your English sound more natural and organized!
