In this Catch Word episode, Andrew and Indiana teach you two very common and useful English expressions for making comparisons: “apples to oranges” and “night and day.” These idioms help you describe situations where things are so different that it’s not fair or even possible to compare them. You’ll hear realistic examples, like comparing homemade food to the gorgeous dishes shared by influencers, or an old, outdated phone to a brand new one.
What you’ll learn with this episode:
- How to use “apples to oranges” when two things are too different to compare
- How to use “night and day” to describe a major, positive change
- The difference in meaning and usage between the two expressions
- Real-life examples from conversations about jobs, health, technology, and daily life
This episode is perfect for:
- Intermediate English learners who want to use idiomatic expressions to talk about comparisons
- Learners trying to sound more fluent and confident in real conversations, at work, school, or in social situations
