Rest (Remainder)

Rest can be defined as the remainder of something, or the leftover amount. It requires differentiation between parts of a group.

Examples for rest of:

#1) Micheal went home, but the rest of us went out.
#2) There we a bus accident and two passengers were injured, but the rest of the passengers were unharmed.
#3) I used my check to pay for my bills and used the rest of the money on new clothes.
#4) I'm full and I can't eat the rest of my meal.
#5) At the gym, I spent one hour lifting weights and the rest of the time on the treadmill.
#6) I want to spend the rest of my life on a private island.
#7) Since I slept on the job, the boss gave me the rest of the day off

Examples for the rest:
#1) Eat as much as you want and give the rest to the dogs.
#2) I can't finish this bottle of wine. What shall we do with the rest?
#3) This isn't all of the money! Where is the rest?
#4) I will take this puppy. The rest are too ugly.
#5) There were three women at the party. The rest were men.
