⚡ THE 'SOME' RULE

In this story, we see the word some used many times. For a beginner, this is a goldmine for talking about groups of things without being exact.

How it works: Use "some" when you don't need to count every single person or thing.

Examples from the text:

  • Some missiles → Not all missiles, but a few.
  • Some people → Not every person in the world, just a group.
  • Some leaders → A few specific people in charge.
