‘Humid’ is used to refer to water vapor in the air. ‘Damp’ (as an adjective) is used to describe things as slightly wet. So you would describe a towel as damp, not humid.

You must have the wrong book? On page 35 of the workbook you should see some practise for the grammar we covered on Monday, as well as pronunciation and listening exercises. Perhaps you have the wrong edition? It should be ‘English File Upper-Intermediate Workbook with Key, third edition.’

Hi Naill
Thank you for the answers .
Do you please explain a lite bite more about humid and damp ?
In swedish it is the same . Isnt it?
Regards
Bahman
Hi Bahman!
‘Humid’ is used to refer to water vapor in the air. ‘Damp’ (as an adjective) is used to describe things as slightly wet. So you would describe a towel as damp, not humid.
I hope this helps 🙂
