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.
