چی یاد می‌گیری

سلام! آماده‌ای که یه لول بیای بالاتر و مثل یه حرفه‌ای انگلیسی صحبت کنی؟ توی این فصل قراره بریم سراغ اون کلمه‌های کوچیک اما فوق‌العاده تاثیرگذاری که به جمله‌هات شکل و معنای دقیق می‌دن. حتماً برات پیش اومده که موقع حرف زدن شک کنی بگی another یا the other، یا مثلاً ندونی فرق دقیق بین few و little چیه. توی این درس، قراره یه بار برای همیشه پرونده‌ی آرتیکل‌ها (a, an, the) رو ببندیم تا بدونی کجا جاشونه و کجا نباید بیان. یاد می‌گیری چطور از ضمایر انعکاسی مثل myself و themselves استفاده کنی تا بگی یه کاری رو «خودت» یا «به تنهایی» انجام دادی. همچنین با هم یاد می‌گیریم چطور با استفاده از both، either و neither خیلی شیک بین دو تا گزینه انتخاب کنی؛ مثلاً وقتی با دوستت داری فیلم انتخاب می‌کنی و می‌خوای بگی «هیچ‌کدوم رو دوست ندارم!». از کوانتیفایرهایی مثل much و many گرفته تا تفاوت‌های ظریفِ other و others، همه رو با هم تمرین می‌کنیم. آخر این فصل، دیگه موقع توصیف مقدار چیزها یا اشاره به بقیه، تپق نمی‌زنی و می‌تونی با دقت و اعتماد به نفسِ یه زبان‌آموز سطح متوسط رو به بالا، منظورت رو برسونی. بزن بریم که قراره کلی کیف کنیم!

It depends on the sound. 'University' starts with a 'y' sound (consonant), while 'umbrella' starts with a vowel sound.
No, that will make you sound unnatural. 'The' is only for specific things.
It is increasingly accepted in singular, gender-neutral contexts, but 'themselves' is still the standard plural.
Reflexive pronouns cannot be the subject of a sentence. Use 'John and I'.
Only if preceded by 'so', 'too', or 'as'. Otherwise, use 'a lot of'.
No, money is uncountable. You count 'dollars' or 'coins'.
