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.

So not too?hard, is it?

大家好，我是BBC Learning English的Sam，今天我們來看一下用“hard”這個詞的五種方式。

作為一個描述事物的形容詞，它可以表示與“軟”相反的意思。例如：木頭是硬的。

表示與“容易”相反的意思。例如：考試很難。

也可以表示需要付出努力的意思。例如：跑馬拉松很辛苦。

作為描述行為的副詞，它可以表示用力地做某事，比如：她工作很努力。

或者表示使用力量的意思。例如：他猛擊了球。

只要注意不要與“hardly”混淆，因為它有不同的含義。

所以，這不算太難，對吧？
