今週の文法ワード【count】
This week I’d like to go over another common verb which has more than one meaning. When people think of the verb “count” they imagine counting numbers. However, this verb has other meanings which many people don’t realize.
1. to consider something or someone to be a certain way.
2. for something to be considered part of a general rule or category.
3. to be considered valid.
4. for something or someone to matter or be important.
Among these definitions, the first one is a little bit formal. If you want to sound slightly less formal, you can use the word “consider” instead. The other three definitions are quite commonly used, especially the second and third ones. As you can see, with these definitions, the verb “count” is often used in the negative.
