  • Hi! Sian here again!

  • Now, we all love going on holiday,

  • but these two words can cause problems.

  • So a 'journey' is a noun

  • and refers to a single piece of travel

  • - so, when you move from one place to another

  • by car, plane, train, bus.

  • The journey to London takes three hours by bus.

  • A 'trip' is also a noun,

  • but usually refers to more than one journey

  • and the time you spend in a place.

  • So, if someone asks

  • 'How was your trip?'

  • they're asking about the whole time you are away,

  • not the journey.

  • Phil: How was your camping trip, Sian?

  • Sian: It was fun, but it rained all weekend!

  • A 'trip' is often quite short compared to a holiday,

  • and we can use it in these set phrases.

  • So you can have a business trip,

  • a school trip or a day trip.

Hi! Sian here again!
