15 useful English wordpairs (binomials)

English word pairs are a kind of collocation - a fixed expression. The technical term for them is binomials and English is full of them!

Learning English word pairs is a great way to boost your vocabulary. As well as helping your listening, they'll help your English sound more natural and conversational when you're speaking.

In this video you'll learn how to use the English expressions and see lots of examples in action:
fun and games
alive and well
alive and kicking
here and now
here and there
trial and error
quick and easy
quick and dirty
pins and needles
odds and ends
odds and sods
bits and pieces
bits and bobs
more or less
more and more

These word pairs generally have the same meanings and use in British and American English, but not always!
When there's a difference, Vicki and Jay will tell you about it.
