How To Use In Common
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa khan and today I want to teach
you the expression have something in
common with someone else are you ready
let’s get started what’s the first thing
you do when you meet someone new when
you first have a conversation with them
you probably try to find something that
you have in common with the other person
even if your backgrounds are very
different you most likely have something
in common maybe you both don’t like to
wake up in the morning or maybe you both
like hiking or maybe you both ate sushi
yesterday something that you have in
common with someone else I just shared
with you several examples of how you can
use this expression but let’s go back
and take a look at them I said find
something in common with someone else
you try to find something that you have
in common it means a common interest
some common ground maybe you have a lot
in common with your friends or maybe you
don’t have a lot in common with your
friends maybe you just have a common
background you both went to the same
middle school you both went to the same
college but your interests aren’t very
similar this is something in common but
not very much in common so maybe if you
have a lot in common you have the same
interest the same backgrounds maybe the
same friends mutual friends you have a
lot in common with each other I have a
question for you have you ever met a
stranger and realized that you had
something in common
maybe you both went to the same high
school maybe you both are going to Rome
next week you both have something in
common and you can start a friendship
start a relationship or simply start a
conversation because you have something
in common now I want you to be able to
use this expression naturally and in
your daily life so please leave a
comment below
and let me know what do you have in
common with your friends or have you
ever met a stranger and you realized you
had something in common with them I’ll
see you in the comments below and talk
to you later
