๐บ๐ธ English Expressions: Tell One Thing from Another ๐
Hey everyone! ๐ Todayโs expression is โtell one thing from another.โ ๐ It means to be able to distinguish or recognize differences between things, often when something is confusing or similar to something else.

People have been using it since at least the 17th century to talk about being able (or not) to see things clearly. ๐ง Examples: โข I was so tired this morning, I couldnโt tell my keys from my wallet. ๐ด โข Without my glasses, I canโt tell my coffee cup from my water bottle. ๐ โข I mixed up the salt and sugar while bakingโI couldnโt tell one from the other. ๐ฐ Now itโs your turn! ๐ฌ Drop your own sentence using โtell one thing from anotherโ below ๐ WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER! ๐ค English Expressions pages in the Classroom ๐ https://www.skool.com/lme/classroom/c7105c70?md=a0522a36e24d4286a880b2f958b8f1ea
