Vocabulary

ordinary and normal
Ordinary means “not special”.
Normal means “not strange”.
Imagine your Mum has cooked some soup, but she thinks something about it tastes wrong. She asks, “Is it OK?”.
You answer, “The soup tastes normal” (the soup doesn’t taste strange).
However, if you go to a restaurant and your husband says, “I think this soup is amazing!”. You might answer,
“Actually, I think the soup tastes ordinary” (the soup isn’t special, it’s just the same as a million other soups).
