ABOUT THE LESSON 📚
The word BAD is one of the most common adjectives in English. And that’s why it’s great to build and expand your vocabulary so that you can use a variety of words and phrases to talk about the things that you don’t like.
So let’s look at some everyday questions and what you can say instead of responding with “bad.“ And of course, you can respond to these questions with many of the words and phrases that I talk about. But for this lesson, I use the vocabulary only once.
Here are the questions from the lesson along with possible responses.

1) Not good
