Cách sử dụng
The expression "to all intents and purposes" means almost completely or in all practical ways. It is used when there is little difference between two things, even though they may not be exactly the same. For example, you could say "To all intents and purposes, these two phones are the same. They both have the same features and specifications." This means that even though there may be some small differences between the two phones, they are essentially the same in practical terms.The expression can also be used to suggest that something is effectively the same as something else, even if there are some technical differences. For example, you could say "To all intents and purposes, this new law is the same as the old one. The only difference is a small change in wording." This means that even though the two laws may not be exactly the same, the practical impact of the new law is no different from the old one.
