Way - adverb

Way - adverb

Hello everyone!

Elham’s here from Zabanshenas.com

Today we’re gonna take a closer look at the word “way”.

Yeah we all know its meanings.

As a noun it means: method or style, route, direction, road or distance.

We can use it in a sentence like this:

The “way” that Zabanshenas helps you learn English is super practical and fun!

Link in the bio!

Or a sentence like this:

I showed her the way to the hospital.

So you know this word. It’s simple.

But do you remember when Batman said:

I’m gonna do something way cooler.

I bet you heard this and it made you wonder…

What the hell is this word doing here?

I’ll tell you, we can use “way” informally as a degree adverb to mean ‘a lot’.

Yes, here “way” is an adverb, not a noun.

So what Batman meant was that he could do something that’s a lot better.

Let’s check out some other examples:

This is way too dangerous.

Way too dangerous: very dangerous

This is way easier.

Way easier: a lot easier

Now it makes sense, doesn’t it? This is commonly used in daily English.

Now it’s your turn.

Write two sentences. In the first sentence use the word “way” as a noun and in the second one, use it as an adverb.

Be creative!
