Start using English idioms in your daily conversations and speak English like a native speaker! ✅ ~~~TRANSCRIPT~~~ Hi there. Welcome back to Harry’s World of Words and Phrases. We want to talk about apples and oranges. Very common English idiom that we use when we’re talking about comparisons. But we use it in comparisons when things don’t really look alike or they can’t be compared. Let me give you an example if you go to the city to get something to eat you have a choice of fast-food restaurants like McDonald’s or you can go to your local homemade restaurant where they serve delicious food where you can sit down and enjoy it with your family. Both meals will fill you up, both meals will be satisfactory but their homemade meal in your local restaurant would be far superior. So you can’t compare McDonald’s with the homemade restaurant. So it’s like comparing apples with oranges both fruits but very different okay so next time somebody uses the phrase to you or that’s apples and oranges you’ll know that it’s about two things that really can’t be compared. Okay. So remember to look us up on our website or tuning to us on our youtube channel see you soon. Thank you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Visit - Видео уроки английского языка с носителями языка. Lecciones en inglés para intermedios.
