You say 'most' when you speak of people in general.

You say 'most of' when you talk about a certain group.

Like:

Most people get out of bed in the morning.

Most of the people who don't get out of bed are sick.

So he meant when do we use most and most of, OMG.


This remark is absolutely uncalled for. We all have to start somewhere and to ask questions if we don't understand something even if our English is not good enough to express what we want to say.

I suggest you work on your own English before you mock that of others. :x

Excuse me, Shyone
Could you help me one more, please

Thanks in advance

You practiced your English and as a result you improved immensely.

As a result of practicing your English you improved immensely.

You see the difference?

The meaning is the same, I just moved the words around.
