Explanations

See if you recognize the fruit and vegetables shown on the video. If there is something you don’t recognize, don’t worry, it’s no use learning a word for something you don’t know what is.

EGG PLANT= in BrE they are more often called AUBERGINE (see picture)

CANTALOUPE= a small round melon, orange inside and very sweet and tasty (see picture)

ZUCCHINI= this word is used both for the singular and the plural (one zucchini, two zucchini). This is a plant that looks like a big cucumber and tastes like a pumpkin (see picture)

CORN (AmE)= MAIZE (BrE). In BrE, when we say CORN we mean wheat or barley. (see picture)

BEET= you can make sugar out of this root-plant (see picture)

TOMATOES= The stressed syllable -MA- is pronounced "mah" in BrE and "may" in most of the USA.

RIPE= a fruit or vegetable is ripe when it is ready to eat. If it is not ready yet, we say that it is GREEN.
