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 favor 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!
