1069 - Stop Mixing Up Cost, Spend, Pay, and Buy

from Happy English Podcast · host Michael Digiacomo Happy English

How much did it cost? How much did you spend? Did you pay cash? What did you buy?Cost, spend, pay, and buy. These are four very common English words that are related to using money. and English learners often mix them up because they're all connected to money. But here's the thing. They don't focus on the same part of the situation. Sometimes we're talking about the thing we got. Sometimes we're talking about the money we used. Sometimes we're talking about the price. And sometimes we're talking about the person using the money. So today, we're going to look at how people really use cost, spend, pay, and buy in everyday English.The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads📘 Get free weekly English lessons plus instant access to my FREE Vocabulary Workshop.:https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/free-english-lessons🎥 Watch video versions of the Happy English Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@HappyEnglishNY/podcasts🌐 Learn more about my English lessons and courseshttps://www.myhappyenglish.com
