Can I say in english...?

Question

" a clump of grass"? and can I say in english "a blob of honey"? I'm working on an exerise and I have a lot of doubts gracias

Answer 1

Yes, you can say both of these things.

Just to give you a better idea, a clump of grass is the amount you'd be left with if you reached down on the grass and pulled a handful out of the earth.

A blob of honey would be used most likely to describe a small amount of honey that has spilled onto something. For example, you would never say, "Add a blob of honey" in a recipe, but you might say, "Oh, Debbie, look, you've dropped a blob of honey on your blouse."

You would never say "a blob of grass" or "a clump of honey"

Answer 2

You can say "blob of honey", but "dollop of honey" is probably more what you are intending to say.

Don't recollect ever seeing "dollop" in a recipie but it is a lovely word. - samdie, Sep 20, 2010

Dollop is fairly common in recipes, usually used to refer to a topping like whipped cream or sour cream, but it is also used for ingredients like honey when the exact amount varies according to taste. - lorenzo9, Sep 21, 2010
