【Preposition, for】Ⅷ

Example

32 She is pretty tall for a Japanese girl.

The example doesn't only say she is tall. It means being limited to an extent of Japanese girl,she is tall.😃

Example

33 It's cold for this time of year.

34 She is very small for a tyrannosaur.

35 He is so fluent he could pass for a native speaker.

It seems to be a piece of cake,doesn't it? When using the preposition,for and saying a small elephant,but it's larger than a big sumo wrestler,and a big mouse is smaller than another sumo wrestler,oh I'm afraid it may be too doggedly しつこい a little.😚

Under those situation,a speaker says it's small, but what does a speaker pay attention for? 😃

For shows it clearly.If saying only『he passes』,we can't make ourselves understood correctly.For expresses how he passes.🙋

It seems to be long a little.I have to get my ideas in shape.まとめる. For limits its topic to its range whicg is paid attention.
