Lesson 197--Using the word sale


 
Everybody has to shop, so you should be ready to do it in English.  Here are some confusing words you are going to have to master.

 
Be on sale:  This means that the price is lower than normal.
e.g. The PS4 is on sale at the electronic Superstore.

Go on sale:  This means they will start selling this product.
e.g. The new iPod goes on sale Friday.

For sale: This just means you can buy it.  It is available to buy.
e.g. The beautiful house is for sale.

Selling:  This is used to describe who sells the product or which store sells the product.
e.g. The Future Shop is selling the biggest TV in Canada.
e.g. Jacob is selling his car.
