🟣 The 'Some' vs 'One' Pattern

Look at how the text describes the Lego sets. It moves from general to specific.

The General Group (Some)

  • "Some are small and some are big."
  • Use some when you don't know the exact number or you are talking about a part of a group.

The Specific Item (One/Another)

  • "One set has a record."
  • "Another set has flowers."
  • Use one to pick a single item. Use another to pick a different single item.

Quick Guide: Some (Group) \rightarrow One (Item 1) \rightarrow Another (Item 2)

💰 Talking about Price

Notice the phrase: "cost between 35and35 and 120."

To talk about a price range in English, use this simple map: Cost + between [Low Price] and [High Price].
