HARDLY-1: meaning and examples

Good morning again.

Remember that this week we will only send the Daily Vitamin on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. We will be back on Tuesday, April 26th.

Today's content was once again suggested by Judit. Thanks Judit!

Today's word is: hardly

Meaning 1: almost no; almost not; almost nothing.

Example 1:
There is hardly any bread left. Can you run out and buy some more please?

Example 2:
She hardly ever calls me. I wish I could speak with her more.

Meaning 2: used to say that something has just started, happened, etc.

Example 3:
We can't take a break now, we've hardly started working.

Tomorrow we will look at two more uses of this very common adverb.
