A fridge is an appliance that keeps food and drinks cold.
The idea
Use fridge as a short form of refrigerator. Say in the fridge for food stored inside.
Examples
- The milk is in the fridge.
- Put the cheese in the fridge.
- Our fridge keeps vegetables cold.
- There is some soup in the fridge.
- Close the fridge door, please.
- We bought a small fridge for the office.
