Like vs Such As
Can you buy me some fruit like apples or pomegranate?
Why the above sentence is wrong?
Use of "like" in the above sentence mistakenly suggests that the speaker does not want apples or pomegranate, but rather some other fruit that is similar to apples or watermelon.
"Like" means "similar to", and "such as" means "for example".
Can you buy me some fruit like apples or watermelon?
This sentence implies that the speaker does NOT want apples or watermelon; instead, he prefers some fruit similar to apples and watermelon.
Correct - Can you buy me some fruit such as apples or watermelon?apples and watermelon are examples of the type of fruit we want. -
"Like" is more informal and commonly used to emulate the spoken language, while "such as" is better to be used in the written language because it is more formal.
Furthermore, "such as" is more indicated to introduce a list of elements at least three elements that have something in common
