                     🔊 Prepositions 🔊
    
A preposition is a word governing, and usually coming in front of, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element.

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 She left before breakfast.

💭 What did you come for ?

📔 Rules

🔺 A preposition is followed by a "noun".

Subject ➕ verb ➕ preposition ➕ "noun"

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 The book is on the table.
💭 He lives in Ethiopia.

🔺 A preposition cannot be followed by a verb.

👉 If we want to follow a preposition by a verb, we must use the "ing" form which is really a gerund or verb in noun form.

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 She isn't used to working.
💭 I ate before coming.

🔊 Must vs Have to 🔊


☑️ The Differences between "must" and "have to" :

🔴 Must: It expresses an obligation. The source of this obligation is internal (coming from oneself).

🔘 I must climb Mount Everest.

👆🏼 In this example “must” expresses the obligation to climb Mount Everest that comes from an internal source (no one external to me is forcing me to do it).
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

🔴 Have to: It expresses an obligation. The source of this obligation is external (coming from your boss, the law, an authority).

🔘 My mother says that I have to make my bed.

👆🏼In this example “have to” expresses an obligation coming from an external source (my mother).

⚜ Fewer Vs. Less ⚜

Fewer and Less are both used for comparison; However, they're used differently.

🔆 FEWER 🔆

Fewer is used with countable nouns (such as friends, books, shelves)

🔔 Example 🔔

➕ There are fewer books on the shelf now.
➖Eat fewer candies please.
〰〰〰〰〰〰

🔆 LESS 🔆

Less, on the other hand, is used with uncountable nouns (Like bread, money, water)

🔔 Example 🔔

➕ I have less money than you.
➖You should spend less time playing around.

🔴 EXCEPTIONS 🔴

Less is used with uncountable and Fewer is used with countable nouns; However, less could also be used with countable nouns ONLY WHEN the noun refers to some sort of a distance, amount or time.

🔔 Example 🔔

➕Less than two weeks
➖Less than two miles
➕Less than three grams.

🔊 Articles 🔊


🔴 What Are Articles?

Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. Consider the following examples:

💭 After the long day, the cup of tea tasted particularly good.

🔸 By using the article the, we’ve shown that it was one specific day that was long and one specific cup of tea that tasted good.

💭 After a long day, a cup of tea tastes particularly good.

🔹 By using the article a, we’ve created a general statement, implying that any cup of tea would taste good after any long day.
🆔 @AmEnglish
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
English has two types of articles: definite and indefinite.

🔴 The Definite Article

🔸 The definite article is the word the. It limits the meaning of a noun to one particular thing. For example, your friend might ask, “Are you going to the party this weekend?” The definite article tells you that your friend is referring to a specific party that both of you know about.

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 Please give me the hammer.

💭 Please give me the red hammer; the blue one is too small.

💭 Please give me the nail.

💭 Please give me the hammer and the nail.
