🏬 Come Over Here! — Stores, This One & Adverbs
Today you will learn the names of different stores, point at things without repeating the noun ("I like this one!", "How about those?"), and use little power words — adverbs: here / over there, always / usually / never, and really / very / so.
Lost In The Mall
Read the little scene below.
🤔 Where do you like to shop: in a mall, in small shops, or online?
🗺️ Kinds Of Stores — Here, There, Over There
A mall has lots of stores. Use here for a place near you, there for a place not near you, and over there to make it stronger. Say "Come over here!" to call a friend.

You are at the ⭐. Click a store: is it here, there or over there? Then move the ⭐ and try again!
👉 This One, That One, These, Those — Without A Noun
This, that, these and those can be used without a noun when everybody knows what you mean. For one thing, you can add one.
1️⃣ One Thing → + one
- "I like this one." (= this jacket)
- "That one is too expensive."
👟 Two Or More → no one
- "How about these?" (= these shoes)
- "I like those." = "I like those pants."
React to good or bad news: "That's great!" 😃 or "That's too bad." 😕 — "That's too bad" is not about "too big" or "too small": it means you're sorry for your friend.
🛍️ Which One Do You Like?
Mia asks: "Which one do you like?" Click an item — near you or over there — and answer without repeating the noun!
⚡ Power Words — Always, Never, Really, Very, So
Adverbs give extra information about verbs and adjectives. Frequency adverbs tell you how often. Intensifiers make a word stronger.
🔁 How Often?
- always 100% · usually 80% · never 0%
- After be: "Their prices are never cheap."
- Before other verbs: "Big stores always have sales."
💪 How Strong?
- really + verb or adjective: "I really like it." / "It's really nice."
- very + adjective only: "It's very expensive."
- so + adjective: "This shirt is so cool!"
Very never goes before a verb: "I very like shopping" ❌ → "I really like shopping" ✅.
