Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Some' Rule
In the text, we see the word "Some" used many times. This is a great tool for A2 students because it helps you talk about groups of people without being too specific.
How it works: Use some when you don't mean everyone or nobody.
Examples from the story:
- Some big parties Not all parties, just a few.
- Some people like Mr. Farage A group of people like him (but others don't).
Quick Tip: If you are not 100% sure about a whole group, start your sentence with "Some...". It makes your English sound more natural and accurate!
