Grocery Store VS Supermarket

hi i’m vanessa from speak english with

vanessa calm where do you buy food it’s

not the supermarket let’s get started a

lot of my students say i’m going

shopping today or I’m going to the

supermarket today when they want to talk

about buying food nope going shopping

means buying other things maybe buying

clothes or buying something for your

house this is going shopping and in the

u.s. we don’t really say supermarket

very much so I want to give you another

expression you can use I’m going grocery

shopping at the grocery store to buy

some groceries I live right beside three

grocery stores really when I look out my

front window I can see three grocery

stores so when I’m cooking if I don’t

have any more onions it’s really easy to

just run to the grocery store and get

them I could even leave my meal cooking

while I run to the store but if you

watch the video about brush it off you

know that’s not a good idea the best

thing about going to the grocery store a

lot is that they always have lots of

samples and I love samples so my husband

and I really like to cook Korean food

too so we go to the Korean grocery store

• sometimes with international grocery

stores we say Korean grocer Korean

market maybe some people might say

Korean supermarkets but Korean grocery

store I go to the grocery store these

are the best explanations

I don’t usually buy many groceries at

the grocery store because it’s so close

I can go there every day if I want in

this short story I used three versions

of the word grocery I said go to the

grocery store I go to the grocery store

I go grocery shopping in the grocery

store

and what do I buy at the grocery store I

buy groceries notice that there is a C

but it sounds like sh groceries at the

grocery store so we go grocery shopping

at the grocery store to buy groceries on

my website I’m going to be giving some

more details in sample sentences so if
