Question

ESLPod_0706_WE_1087 Feeling Ill from Food While Traveling In this podcast, the word "some" is used to emphasize that something is not what it should be, or that it is the opposite of what it should be: "Some job! As a restaurant reviewer, she gets paid to travel and eat!" The word "some" can also describe something that was very good or impressive: "That's some car you're driving! How much did it cost?" Sometimes the word "some" can be used to mean that something is large or significant in size: "Wow, that's some hamburger! Do you think you can eat it all by yourself?" Finally, the phrase "and then some" is used after a number to show that one thinks the real number is probably even bigger: "Top actors can earn one million dollars per episode of popular TV shows, and then some!"
