Partitives.
Partitives. What are partitives? Turns out they’re those phrases that come before nouns that tell us how much of that noun we have. For example: I have a can of soda. “a can of” is a partitive. The thing about partitives is that they’re everywhere in English, and there is no set logic to why and when we use the ones we do to describe the amounts of different things. If you...

As I procrastinate alone in my hostel
It amazes me that I’ve only been here a week. So far everything has been more or less good; I’ve met a lot of amazing people, and I feel like I’m learning a lot.
