Commonly Confused Adjectives with Explanations

Hi guys, it's wonderful to see all of you again. Today, I will give you more infographic to learn English!!!
This method is not only applied for Idioms but also for Adjectives, how wonderful, right?
Ad wont make you more curious anymore. These are some ways to distinguish between some confused adjectives for you:

Many – Much

Although these two quantifiers sound similar, function in a similar manner and mean similar things, they cannot be used interchangeably. Use much with collective nouns and singular nouns. Use many with plural nouns.

Few – A Few

A few represents a positive quantity, but it can only be used with countable nouns. The word few represents a negative quantity or shortage. 

Little – A little
Like few and a few, the quantifiers little and a little represent negative and positive quantities. Always use a little with non-countable nouns. The word little expresses a diminutive size or a negative quantity.


Each – Every
Use each with individual or separate items. Use the word every when referring to things in a group or describing the frequency of actions.


Wounded – Injured – Hurt
The words wounded, injured and hurt have subtle differences and unique connotations. Victims are injured financially, emotionally or physically. Wounded implies a physical injury or laceration. Hurt describes an experience of physical or emotional pain.




Farther – Further
Farther (root word far) is always used for distance, and further (think furthermore) implies a metaphorical advancement.

Less – Fewer
Less is compatible with non-countable nouns, collective nouns, volumes and bulk amounts. Fewer is used with countable nouns and individual items.

Last – Latter- Latest
Last is the opposite of first, the latter is the antithesis of the former and the latest means the most recent.

High – Tall
Tall is an adjective that measures the size or height of vertical items, such as people and buildings. High is used to define an object’s position from the ground, including bridges, planes, shelves and horizontal objects.
