In the film, Amelia said that in a love relationship, when encountering setbacks, people will feel that they are unworthy. What she said is worthwhile and knowledgeable! This word has several similar brothers and sisters-Worthhile and worthy, but the usage of these words is different. Let's get to know each other so as not to be confused or misused all the time!
● Worth "Worth" and "Value”Worth can be used as adjectives or nouns. When adjectives are used, they are often preceded by be verbs. seem or look indicates the value of something, and the structure is "be worth+value".
For example, this neck is worth 1000 dollars.
This necklace is worth two thousand dollars. )
If you want to express "it is worth doing something", you can say "it is worth doing something".
For example, if you like reading horror stories, then Stephen King's novels are definitely worth reading!
If you like horror stories, Stephen King's novels are definitely worth reading. )
Besides, you can also say "worth it", which means "(something/someone) is worth it".
Our trip to Hawaii is totally worthwhile. The hotel is very good, the food is great and the scenery is breathtaking.
Our trip to Hawaii is very worthwhile. The hotel is very good, the food is great and the scenery is beautiful. )
Worth spending time/money.
This is also an adjective, so its usage is the same as general adjectives. It can be placed after the verb be, seem or look, or before the noun.
For example, if you know how to use stocks and futures, they may be valuable investments.
If you know how to operate stocks and futures, they will be worthwhile investments. )
Or you can use the sentence pattern "be worthy to do" to express "it is worthwhile to do something":
It is worthwhile to buy this sofa. It is comfortable and big enough to accommodate all of us.
This sofa is worth buying. It is comfortable and big enough to accommodate all of us. )
"Good enough, good enough ..."
Similarly, this word can be used as an adjective, followed by an infinitive, and written as be worthy to do something.

Or use the phrase worthy of it.
