von Christine Burgmer | Feb. 2, 2025 | Grammar quirks, Tips and Tricks | 0 Kommentare

Example:
A beautiful big old round red wooden table.

Fun vs. funny 🤭

von Christine Burgmer | Feb. 2, 2025 | Vocabulary variations | 0 Kommentare

Fun = Enjoyable (It’s something you experience!)
Funny = Hilarious (It makes you laugh!)
Examples:
That film was fun!”
“That joke was funny!”

Borrow versus lend 🤏

von Christine Burgmer | Feb. 2, 2025 | Tips and Tricks, Vocabulary variations | 0 Kommentare

“Borrow” means to take something from someone.
“Lend” means to give something to someone.

Examples:
Can I borrow some money? (You’re asking if you can take money from someone.)
Can you lend me some money? (You’re asking someone to give you money.)

Cheaper than… 🧐

von Christine Burgmer | Feb. 2, 2025 | Grammar quirks, Tips and Tricks | 0 Kommentare

Never use “more” and the comparative form together.
Example:
This product is cheaper than that one.
This product is more cheaper than that one.

Information 🧠

von Christine Burgmer | Feb. 2, 2025 | Tips and Tricks, Vocabulary variations | 0 Kommentare

“Information” is uncountable, so it does not take an “s.”
Example:
We need more information about the project.
We need more informations about the project.
