Now, we all love going on holiday,
1
2040

but these two words can cause problems.

So a 'journey' is a noun
3
7620
2400
00:10
and refers to a single piece of travel
4
10020
3940
00:13
- so, when you move from one place to another
5
13960
3920
00:17
by car, plane, train, bus.

00:21
The journey to London takes three hours by bus.

00:25
A 'trip' is also a noun,
8
25400
2260
00:27
but usually refers to more than one journey
9
27660
3400
00:31
and the time you spend in a place.
10
31060
2600
00:33
So, if someone asks
11
33660
1720
00:35
'How was your trip?'
12
35380
2100
00:37
they're asking about the whole time you are away,
13
37480
3700
00:41
not the journey.

Phil: How was your camping trip, Sian?
15

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

A 'trip' is often quite short compared to a holiday,
17
48659
4741
00:53
and we can use it in these set phrases.
18
53400
3649
00:57
So you can have a business trip,
19
57049

a school trip or a day trip.
