The 'Some vs. Many' Trick

In this text, we see how to group things without being too specific. This is a key skill for A2 English.

1. Big Groups (Many) Use Many when you talk about a large number of things in general.

  • Many new books →\rightarrow A lot of books.
  • Many books talk about pain →\rightarrow A large group of books.

2. Small Groups (Some/Other) Use Some and Other to split a big group into smaller pieces.

  • Some are stories →\rightarrow (Group A)
  • Some are true facts →\rightarrow (Group B)
  • Other writers write about crimes →\rightarrow (Group C)

Quick Guide: Many (Total) →\rightarrow Some (Part 1) →\rightarrow Other (Part 2)

Example from the text: "Many new books are out now. Some are stories... Other writers write about crimes."
