ESL Lesson: 📚 Understanding the Usage of 'Some' and 'Several' 📚 Example Sentences 📚 English Lesson 📚

📚 Welcome to Main Street English! Join me, Jason, in this free English lesson that will help you boost your vocabulary. Today, we'll explore the differences between the words 'some' and 'several' and how to use them correctly in English. 🔸 'Some' and 'several' are frequently used in English to refer to an indefinite quantity of something. In this video, we'll define their meanings, their usage with countable and uncountable nouns, grammatical functions, and their forms, 'some of' and 'several of'. 🔹 The word 'some' indicates an indefinite quantity or number. It signifies a small amount or a part of a whole, without specifying the exact number. On the other hand, 'several' refers to an indefinite number greater than two but not many. ✅ Let's see some examples to illustrate their usage: I have some books in my bag. I would like some cheese. She has several friends in the city. 🔹 It's important to note that 'several' is only used with countable nouns, while 'some' can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns. ✨ Let's look at a few more examples to make this clearer: I bought some apples. (countable noun) Can you give me some advice? (uncountable noun) They have several cats. (countable noun) 🔸 Both 'some' and 'several' can function as determiners and pronouns. Determiners are words that come before a noun to specify its quantity, while pronouns replace a noun to avoid repetition. ✅ Here are some examples to understand their usage: Some students finished their exams early. (Here, 'some' is a determiner.) Several cars were parked outside the building. (Here, 'several' is a determiner.) I bought too many apples at the market today. Would you like some? ('Here, 'some' is a pronoun) I met many interesting people at the party. Several were artists. (Here, 'several' is a pronoun) 🔹 Now, let's discuss the forms 'some of' and 'several of'. These forms are used before determiners and pronouns to provide clarity. ✅ Examples to help you understand: Some of the books are missing. (Here, 'some of' is used before the determiner 'the.') Some of them are old. (Here, 'some of' is used before the pronoun 'them.') Several of the students are from abroad. (Here, 'several of' is used before the determiner 'the.') Several of us went hiking this weekend. (Here, 'several of' is used before the pronoun 'us.') 🎥 Thank you for watching this video!
