English weights and measures are very challenging for foreigners. For general use, the smallest unit of weight is 1 ounce (abbreviated as oz), and a pound (abbreviated as lb). English people measure groceries, such as sweets or pears, in pounds or half-pounds or quarter-pounds. They measure liquids, like milk or juice, in gallons or liters.

и flour, in bags or sacks. The English use different units of measurement depending on the item being measured.

For example, when measuring weight, the smallest unit is the ounce. An ounce is smaller than a pound. So, if you have something very light, you can measure it in ounces. On the other hand, if you have something heavier, like a bag of flour, you would measure it in pounds.

Now, let"s look at the different units used for measuring groceries. Sweets or pears can be measured in pounds, half-pounds, or quarter-pounds. This means you can buy them in different sizes depending on your needs. If you only need a small amount, you can buy a quarter-pound. If you need more, you can buy a half-pound or a full pound.

Moving on to liquids, like milk or juice, the English use gallons or liters as their units of measurement. A gallon is a larger unit of measurement compared to a liter. So, if you need to buy a large quantity of milk, you would measure it in gallons. However, for smaller quantities, like a carton of juice, you can use liters.

Next, let"s talk about the measurement of items such as soda or beer. These are typically sold in cans or bottles. Cans are small containers made of metal, while bottles are usually made of glass. If you want to buy soda or beer, you can choose between cans or bottles depending on your preference.

Finally, there are other items like tobacco and flour, which are measured in bags or sacks. Bags and sacks are larger containers in which these items are packaged. This allows for easy transportation and storage.

In conclusion, the English use a variety of units of measurement depending on the item being measured. They use ounces and pounds for weight, pounds and quarter-pounds for groceries, gallons and liters for liquids, and cans and bottles for certain beverages. Additionally, items like tobacco and flour are measured in bags or sacks. Understanding these different units of measurement is important when dealing with English weights and measures.
