Practice using the phrase - in other words

From today’s phrase of the day in other words, practice creating a conversation or dialogue that uses in other words. Some examples of this phrase are:

  • Matt's situation at work is not looking good. He's been late a couple of times, his works been very sloppy, in other words there's the very real situation that he may be laid off
  • I'm looking at a beautiful beach with white sand and blue, clear water. In other words, this is a great vacation.

Fair, excellent example well done! Flora and Abuhazem. Good examples as well, just remember Abuhazem: The chicken isn't roasting, the potatoes aren't peeled and the cauliflower isn't ready. In other words the dinner is ruined - FULL STOPS, CAPITAL LETTERS and PUNCTUATION. Still it is a good example

Susie, and everyone else well done with your examples. Just remember'in other words' is used when you are expressing irony, annoyance or sarcasm. Here is an example: A : So what happened? Why are you going through your bag? B : Well, I was in such a hurry I forgot to bring the important stuff like my purse, money and my eyeliner.... A : In other words I'll have to pay for the bill again!
