Easy english expression rehashed.
Hello everybody, my name is coach shane and welcome to easy english expressions.
Come on, let's master english.
Cube number 378.
I love this.
So the other day we studied a perfect mix of A and B. Today we've got something similar.
A pales in comparison to B. Ooh, this is a juicy, great expression.
E cube number 378.
Enjoy.
Let's go back in time.
Today's podcast is something something, something pales in comparison to something something, something else.
A pales in comparison to B. A pales, P-A-L-E-S.
What does it mean to pale?
Well, that's not really a common verb.
The idea of if something is pale, it's It's light.
It's sick.
It's not good quality or not good health.
So if something pales in comparison to something else, that means A is not as healthy as B.
If you compare A and B, then A is not as good.
It's not as healthy.
That's the idea.
A pales in comparison to B.
A is not as good as B. It's the same expression and it is useful.
A is not as good as B. A very easy expression.
Not too difficult.
A pales in comparison to B. Ooh, yeah.
Upgrade your English.
Let's check out the dialogue.
Oh, this chicken is good.
Yeah, but it pales in comparison to my mom's.
So, invite me to your mom's.
If you're nice to me, I will.
There you go.
Is your mother a good cook?
Are you married?
Is your wife a good cook?
Who's a better cook, your wife or your mother?
Be honest.
I think most guys – I'm sorry, ladies.
I think most guys would say their mother.
I'm guessing.
I'm guessing.
I don't know.
I'm just guessing that most guys would say their mother is better.
So I think – sorry, guys.
I think most guys would say my wife's chicken is good but it pales in comparison to my mom's.
Yeah.
And ladies, let me ask you.
Are you married?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who is cooler?
Who's more of a man?
Your dad or your husband?
Who's more of a man?
I don't know, but I'm guessing that most ladies would say that their dad is more of a man than their husband.
I don't know.
I'm just guessing.
So ladies, you could say, Yeah, my husband, he's good, but he pales in comparison to my dad.
Yeah, I don't know.
See, right now, Coach Shane is a bad guy.
He's causing problems throughout the world between husbands and wives.
So let's find a different subject to compare A and B.
Do you have a favorite English teacher?
A favorite English teacher who is not Coach Shane?
Then you could say this.
Coach Shane is good, but he pales in comparison to...
And then you have to say your English teacher.
And if you do this, I'm going to cry.
Don't make me cry.
You guys can lie.
You guys can say somebody else is good.
But he pales in comparison to Coach Shane.
Or she pales in comparison to Coach Shane.
I don't want to hear.
I want to hear that.
No, I'm teasing.
You can be honest.
Actually, instead of being honest, just don't tell me.
So if nobody leaves a comment, I'm going to cry.
I'm not much of a man.
I'm not much of a cook.
That's today's expression.
Pales in comparison to B. Pales, P-A-L-E-S.
In comparison, C-O-M-P-A-R-I-S-O-N.
Pales in comparison to A. Pales in comparison to B. It's a great expression.
The same thing, A is not as good as B. But once again, pales in comparison is an upgrade.
So do that to your English.
Listen to the dialogue two more times.
