Lesson by Amy at EC Cape Town English school.

Sometimes, it can be really difficult to remember how to use words which have similar meanings but different forms. For example:

Difficult - adjective - not easy to do. E.g. "That test was really difficult."
Difficulty - noun - the fact or condition of being difficult. E.g. "You can decide the level of difficulty when you play this game."
