Welcome to the latest entry in our series of posts dedicated to basic human emotions, and, more specifically, the English vocabulary we can use to describe them.

Consider these two sentences: We’d better not go any further. We’d better not go any farther. Is there a difference between them? If so, what is it?

Alright, let’s go the distance.
Look at these adjectives and try to put them in the correct order to describe a bowl: French, glass, fruit, white, old, round, nice, big (bowl).

If you came up with an order different from the one in the answer key, this article will explain the logic behind it. So whether you nailed it or not, read on. Not only will we explain this, but we’ll also provide more practice opportunities toward the end.
