Have you
ever wondered what’s the difference between ‘travel’, ‘trip’ and ‘journey’?
Many of you ask me in class when to use one or the other. Let’s see
if this time you don’t forget them!
TRAVEL
'Travel' can
be:
A) A verb
As a verb,
travel means ‘to move or go from one place to another’ (Cambridge Dictionary)
I usually travel abroad when I have a couple of free days.
B) A noun
As a noun, it describes the activity of travelling and often forms part of compound nouns
I love air travel. I think it is the safest way of travelling.
My wife usually brings a lot of travel documents with her in case there is a problem.
It can also refer to the journeys someone makes:
His travels around Asia are very famous among his readers.
JOURNEY
'Journey' is a noun.
It refers to the distance when you go from one place to another.
The journey from London to New York took us six hours.
You make a journey and they can take or last a long/short time.
Be careful! Because its plural is 'journeys' not 'journeis'.
TRIP
Trip is a noun.
It is defined as 'a journey in which you go somewhere, usually for a short time, and come back again' (Cambridge dictionary).
The trip to Ireland was fantastic. We spent ten days visiting the most beautiful places in the country.
Trips can be of many different kinds: business trips, day trips, return-trips, weekend trips, school trips, shopping trips...
You go on or take a trip. You don't do or make a trip.
Can you now give me some examples using these words?
