Explanation
Extraordinary means very unusual, special, or surprising. Something extraordinary is different from normal and often very good or amazing. For example, a person who can solve difficult puzzles quickly is extraordinary. An extraordinary event could be a beautiful rainbow or a festival in your town. People use this word to show how much they like or notice something. It is stronger than “special” or “different”, and it makes something stand out from ordinary things. For example, “She has an extraordinary talent in painting.”
