KEEN

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you are having a great day.

Today's word is: KEEN

Keen is used quite a lot in conversation and tends to be used more in the UK than in the US. It is used in various ways, but there are two meanings that are probably the most common:

Meaning 1: to speak positively about someone's mental abilities or senses.

Example 1:
My students are very keen. They are learning very quickly.

Example 2:
Ever since my wife has been pregnant, she has a very keen sense of smell.

Meaning 2: to talk about someone's interest in an activity that they enjoy a lot.

Example 3:
My boss is a keen gardener. He spends all of his weekends in his garden.

To get a bit of practice, I encourage you to create a sentence or two with the word KEEN. You can post your sentences on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Bluesky) and we will give you feedback about your writing ASAP.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
