Let's look at five ways that
we can use the word 'set'.
'Set' can mean 'ready', so:
'Are you set? Then let's begin.'
'A set' can mean 'a collection'.
'This video is part of a set of
English In A Minute videos.'
'Set' can also mean 'put in place'.
'I can set my glass on the table.'
We can also 'set a date' and this
means 'to arrange a date',
for example:
'We have set the date for our wedding.
It's on the 1st of June'.
If we are 'set on something',
we are strongly in favour of it,
for example: 'I am set on getting
married in June.'
And we can use 'set against' to
say that we are
'strongly against something', for example:
'My parents are set against my wedding.'
Oh no!
