The 'Something' Pattern

In this story, we see a very useful way to talk about things without saying their specific name. We use words like some, other, and special.

  • Some"Some police officers did bad things." (Not all of them, just a few).
  • Other"This happens to other movies too." (Different movies, not just this one).
  • Special"A special group of officials." (A group that is not normal).
