Hello, everyone. I'm Sam from BBC Learning English and today we are looking at five ways to use the word 'hard'.
As an adjective describing a thing, it can mean the opposite of 'soft'. For example: Wood is hard.
The opposite of 'easy'. For example: The exam was hard.
And it can mean something that involves effort: Running a marathon is hard.
As an adverb describing an action, it can mean to do something with energy, such as: She works hard.
Or to use force. For example: He hit the ball hard.
Just be careful not to confuse it with 'hardly' because that has a different meaning.
