Cold eggs

[tufguy]

Hi guys,

Please check this sentence "I bought some eggs put them into fridge so that they could get cold"

 

[MikeNewYork]

I think that "would" would be better than "could" there. And a period/full stop is needed at the end.

I think that this part needs a little work:
I bought some eggs put them into fridge

 

[MikeNewYork]

Yes an "and" would help.

 

[SoothingDave]

And "the fridge."

 

[Matthew Wai]

put them into fridge so that they could get cold

Why not simply say "refrigerated them"?

Not a teacher.

 

[MikeNewYork]

"Put them in the fridge" would be more common.

 

[Tdol]

Why not simply say "refrigerated them"?

We use that more for industrial, scientific, etc, contexts rather than sticking some eggs in the fridge.

"Refrigerate" is nearly always used on the instructions on a packet/tin/bottle of food.

"Refrigerate after opening and use within four days."
"Keep refrigerated."
