Hi everyone, welcome to english-learning.net. I hope you are well today. In this lesson, we’re going to learn a variety of ways to include other things in a list.

1. Et cetera (etc.)

The most common way, used in both formal and informal situations, is “et cetera”. “Et cetera” is a expression in Latin which means “and other things”. It is used to indicate other items are included in the list For example:

In our center, I can borrow books, listen to music, talk to native speakers, et cetera.

2. And stuff like that

In this expression, “stuff” is a general word for “things” or “items”. Use this at the end to tell people that the list contains other similar things. This is considered an informal way to end a list. For example:

You could buy a lot of things on Amazon, cell phone, computer, washing machine, camera, and stuff like that.

3. And so on

This expression basically means “and similar things”. For example:

Our hotel offers free breakfast with bread, fruit salads, bacon, omelette and so on.
You should try to avoid unhealthy food-hamburger, French fries, fried chicken and so on

4. And so forth
