The word '''hard''' can have several meanings.
As an [[adjective]], '''hard''' talks of the consistency of an object - a '''hard''' object will not yield under the exertion of pressure. In this context, the opposite is '''soft'''.
As an [[adverb]], this word has a different meaning; in this sense, it may mean '''difficult'''. For example a child referring to his/her homework may say "this work is too hard" meaning it is too difficult to understand or complete.
