set us apart

  • Graf’s natural athleticism set her apart from other tennis players.
  • what set you apart from your classmates?
  • what sets our company apart?

2 – Set apart no sentido de separar, reservar:
- Rather than being set apart and isolated, we expect our people to play a full part in the local community
- Ideally a quiet space should be set apart for Buddhists to meet together for meditation and prayer
- set apart a place to study

Lembre-se também que esse phrasal verb, quando usado como diferenciar-se, sempre é separado pelo objeto da frase.
