This video is talking about a big problem at one of the London's airports. It was a very bad day for the most of the people came to take a flight. They couldn't flight because of a computer problem in the air trafic control.

More and more people were waiting because their flight were canceled. So they hoped to find a new flight and decided to wait in the queue during several hours. Others were waiting in having a snack or spendind their time outside.

In the Airport it was getting hoter and hoter because of the sunny day and the amount of people, there were very bad conditions to wait and solve the problem, espacially for old people and children. Airport staff was overtaken by events and just gave water and chairs to help travelers to support this bad moment.  

Most, the most, mostly

We use most with nouns to mean ‘the majority of’

She plays tennis most mornings.

Most tap water is drinkable.

When we are talking about the majority of something in general, we use most + noun. When we are talking about the majority of a specific set of something, we use most of the + noun.

Compare

Most desserts are sweet.	Desserts in general
The food at the party was delicious. He’d made most of the desserts himself.	A specific set of desserts (at the party)

 When we use most before articles (a/an, the), demonstratives (this, that), possessives (my, your) or pronouns (him, them), we need of:

Most of the information was useful. Some of it wasn’t relevant.

Not: Most the information …

Warning:

When there is no article, demonstrative or possessive pronoun, we don’t usually use of:

There hasn’t been much rain. Most rivers are below their normal levels.

Not: Most of rivers are below their normal levels.

We use most of before geographical names:

[from a weather forecast]

Most of England and Wales should be dry throughout the day

We can leave out the noun with most when the noun is obvious:

[talking about school lunches]

Some children brought a packed lunch but most had a cooked meal in the canteen.(most children)

The most

The most is the superlative form of many, much. We use the most with different classes of words.

The most with adjectives and adverbs

We use the most to make the superlative forms of longer adjectives and the majority of adverbs:

They’re using the most advanced technology in the world. (+ adjective)

[the Lake District is an area in Britain]

Scafell Pike is the most easily identifiable peak in the Lake District. (+ adverb)

The most with a noun

We use the most with a noun to mean ‘more/less than all of the others’:

Ian earns the most money in our family.

We can leave out the noun when it is obvious:

He didn’t tell the best jokes but he told the most. (the most jokes)

The most with a verb

We use the most with a verb as an adverb:

They all cried, but Claire cried the most.
