Vocabulary
more/something of a struggle
Would you please tell me the differences between the two phrases?
1) His weight problem has become MORE OF a struggle to him.
2) His weight problem has become SOMETHING OF a struggle to him.
And why can't we just say, "His weight problem has become a struggle to him?"
Thankds in advance.
