Speak English Right - 12:23:16

Good morning.

Today, I will teach two words that are sometimes confused. They are not countable words even though they do indicate a number of things.

Words

somewhat

somehow

Somewhat means ‘a little bit, to some measure of degree or ‘a small amount’ of something.

Somehow means ‘in some ways’ or, ‘by some means’.

Practice

The house was somewhat damaged by the strong wind.

Somehow, the house was not destroyed.

The boy was somewhat afraid of taking his exam.

The boy, somehow, got a 98% on the exam.

The man was somewhat anxious about the heavy traffic.

The man, somehow, got to his meeting on time.

Recognize the difference between these two words. They are important in English. Using the right way is also important to sound more like a native English speaker.

That’s all for today.

Goodbye for now.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
