Sweet in the basket

It has no meaning for me. Do you mean 'The apples (that are) in the basket are sweet'?

In everyday speech, Mr M is right

But your phrase works in poetry or song

There is an Irish song that has..

- Milk lies sweet in a hundred pails

- Milk lies sweet in a hundred pails

The app

Yes, I mean 'The apples (that) are in the basket are sweet'.

Can I say like that way?

If there are some apples in a basket that are sweet, then this is natural..

- The apples in that basket are sweet

Sorry if my earlier reply was confusing. The phrase also means that apples that are freshly picked - in the picker's basket - will taste sweeter than ones bought in a supermarket. (But I guess you didn't mean that..)

Best regards, Dave

Thanks, do my sentence correct?

The apples are sweet in the basket.

If I were an ESL teacher (which I am not) I might say: "in the basket" is an adjectival phrase and, in th

Dear Vicent

The way you mentioned conveys another meaning. It is thought that the apples are sweet JUST in the basket.

But the way Mistre Micawber has mentioned is logical.

Hope it helps you
