Hi everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Time for English.
I watched the movie "Changeling" on DVD. It's a Clint Eastwood movie starring Angelina Jolie. Clint Eastwood directed "Sully", telling the story behind the Miracle on the Hudson.
"Changeling" is also based on a true story of a mother searching for her missing child. Anyhow, I'm not going to discuss how the story goes and ends. Instead, let's learn a phrase from the movie.
There's a line in the movie which goes: You have trouble telling the real from the fantasy. To tell one from the other. If you can tell A from B, it means you can tell the difference between A and B. For example, if you know what's right and what's wrong, then you can tell right from wrong. If you're a coke drinker, you may be able to tell Coca-Cola from Pepsi. Now, I don't drive and I can't tell a station wagon from a minivan.
Now would you like to practice the phrase together? Please repeat after me:
I can't tell one from the other.
