Physical energy is the strength you have to do things.

The idea

Use uncountable energy: enough energy to walk, low on energy, or no energy left.

Examples

  • I have enough energy to walk home.
  • The children still had energy after the game.
  • She saved her energy for the climb.
  • I was low on energy during the meeting.
  • A rest gave him energy for the journey.
  • They had no energy left to cook dinner.
