Summer is Near!

We are nearing the start of Summer! It is my favorite season. It might be different and a little strange this year. We still should be careful about our health.


(Did you notice I used near as a verb? "We are nearing Summer.")


1. Near is usually a preposition: The chair is near the table.


However, near is also...

2. an Adverb: She walked near the shore.

3. Adjective: He will get a car in the near future.


4. Sometimes we use the adjective as a comparative

Nearer

I was nearer to the exit than she, so I went out first.

or a superlative (Nearest)

The nearest town is 10 km from here..


Another word (or synonym) for near is close or close to.

For example: She walked close to the shore could be the same as She walked near the shore.

I was closer to the exit, so I went out first.

The closest town is 10km from here...

BUT, we do not say He will get a car in the close future.


AND we DO NOT say near to...

O Close to... is OK

X Near to... is Not OK


5. Nearly is another adverb form of near It means close to.

He was going so fast, he was nearly flying.

Please be quiet, the baby is nearly asleep.


As a verb, when we near something, of course we are getting closer.

As she neared her Grandmother's house, she smelled warm bread.


It is nearly 11:00 p.m. here in Los Angeles

Be well and Take care! - Lisa



Look at you With your black hair Down Turn the radio up So we can feel the sound You're blood was pumping As fast as the car we drive Said lets get out of here Leave it all behind Oh it's you and me honey Yeah it's you and me Let the years rush by us Let them greet us with silence We'll be hopeless and fearless and careless Like young lovers We'll get there soon When all is clear You took my hand And said I loved you And the world appeared Oh it's you and me honey Oh it's you and me Oh it's you and me honey Let the years rush by us Let em greet us in silence We'll be hopeless and fearless and careless Like… Oh it's you and me honey Oh it's you and me child Oh it's you and honey Oh it's you and me Oh it's you me honey Oh it's me and you child Oh it's you and me honey Oh it's you and me child Oh it's you and me honey Oh it's you and me Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Christopher Keup / Sanders Bohlke Nearly Summer lyrics © Grantham Dispatch
