Hello, I'm looking for a group of grapes.

Oh, you're looking for a bunch of grapes.

A bunch of grapes and a bunch of lettuce.

in this video I will teach you some fixed expressions native speakers use at the supermarket.

Expressions to describe a part or unit of something.

They're common in daily life and learning them will make you sound more fluent.

These expressions also have a fancy name.

Partitive expressions, or collective nouns.

We use a bunch of for a group of things that are attached, tied or gathered together.

This is a bunch of grapes, because grapes naturally grow together on one stem.

That's why we also say a bunch of bananas, a bunch of carrots, a bunch of flowers and a bunch of parsley.

Because they grow together in a bunch or are bunched or tied together when sold.

Because lettuce and things like cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli grow in a round, compact ball.

If they look like a head, we say a head of broccoli, a head of cabbage, or a head of lettuce.

Apples don't grow together and are hard to tie together, so they're usually not sold as a bunch.

Here in the US Apples usually come in a bag, so we say a bag of apples.

If you want a very large quantity of apples or another fruit, like if you own a grocery store or a restaurant, you can buy a bushel, for example.

This, in the picture is a crate, or does it come in a tray?

I'm sorry about the expression impressions.

Make sure you take notes so you don't forget them, because they can be tricky.

And you can say a bag of apples, a bag of oranges and a bag of kiwis, because they're usually sold in bags.

So I need a bag of apples and one papaya.

Papayas don't look like a head and they don't grow together, so they're counted normally one papaya, one Avocado, one pear, and

The noun bread is uncountable, so we always treat it as a singular word.

One loaf of bread, two loaves of bread, three loaves of bread, and so on.

Say, I'd like two buns, I'd like three buns, I'd like five rolls, I'd like six rolls, and

How will I remember everything in this video?

Yeah, a browser is an application you use to access websites.

Look, with Opera AI, you can summarize the video you're watching so you won't forget what you learned.

No need to worry about writing everything, writing everything down.

No, after you finish watching, you can just ask Opera AI to summarize what you learned.

It automatically understands the page you're on, so you don't need to copy, paste and send any links.

You can also ask questions and get instant answers.

If red is uncountable, how do we count it?

And it even helps you with your schedule.

I keep my Google Calendar in Gmail right here in Opera's sidebar, so I can check everything with one click without opening new tabs.

So it basically helps me learn smarter, not harder.

Yes, but my favorite feature is the video skip.

It gives me total control over what I watch.

I just hover over the video, click the video skip button, and I'm taken straight to the end.

I added the link to the description of this video Triopura today.

Could you also help me find a head of garlic?

Garlic is usually sold by the head or clove or minced in packs.
