## Definition

available in very large amounts. You use this after a noun to show there is plenty of something fun or good.

For teachers: existing in great quantity or abundance. Postpositive in placement; it follows the noun it modifies rather than preceding it.

## Examples

- There were games and prizes galore at the party.
- The annual street fair offered food stalls galore, featuring cuisines from every corner of the globe.
- The new shopping district features high-end boutiques galore, catering to a demographic with significant disposable income and a taste for luxury labels.

## Pitfalls

- Not "We saw galore birds in the park." but "We saw birds galore in the park." — Galore is a postpositive adjective; it must be placed after the noun it describes.

## Usage notes

- Postpositive adjective — always follows the noun it modifies (e.g., 'bargains galore', not 'galore bargains').
