Vocabulary Learning
💡 The Power of "SOME"
In this text, the word "some" is used many times. For an A2 learner, this is a great way to talk about a group of things without being exact.
How it works: Use "some" when you don't know the exact number or when the exact number isn't important.
- Some big AI companies → (Not all of them, just a few).
- Some experts → (A group of people who know a lot).
Compare the patterns:
- Some companies ✅ (Correct for groups)
- Some money ✅ (Correct for things you can't count)
⏳ Past vs. Present
Look at how the story moves through time:
- Now: "They want to build..."
- Before: "Some big companies did this..."
Simple Rule: When talking about the past, "do" changes to "did". It is a short, fast change that changes the whole time of the sentence.
