#59 (ENG) "Similar and Different"
Welcome to Clairstone! In this episode, you will learn how to use the English words "similar" and "different".
TRANSCRIPT:
Hello everyone, my name is Jasmine, and you are listening to the English ClAIRSTONE Podcast, where you can build the cornerstone of your English vocabulary! For all our new listeners, welcome to the community, and for our regulars, hello again! Before we start, I will remind you that we upload new episodes twice a week and there are transcripts for each podcast episode in English, Arabic, and Spanish at our website projectclair.org, so go check that out if you want to follow along!
Today we will look at the words “similar” and “different.”
The word “similar,” spelled S-I-M-I-L-A-R, is an adjective that means to be alike to something. If something is “similar” to another thing, it has common characteristics or qualities. We have used the word “similar” a lot in this podcast to describe two things that are like each other. An example sentence is “John’s jacket was similar to Anna’s jacket because they both had white stripes.”
The second word today, “different,” spelled D-I-F-F-E-R-E-N-T, is an adjective and an adverb. As an adjective, “different; means to not be like something else or not the same as. “Different” is the opposite, or antonym, of “similar.” To be “different” can also be to be unusual or special because something is not like other things. An example sentence of “different” as an adjective is: “Ida has a different book because her’s has different colors on the front.”
As an adverb, “different” is spelled as “differently” D-I-F-F-E-R-E-N-T-L-Y, and means to do something in a way that is not like others. For example, if “I cook pasta differently than my mother,” then the way that my mother and I cook pasta is different, or not similar.
