DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAVEL, TRIP AND JOURNEY.

A couple of days ago, some students from the 4th year asked me a question that usually comes to their minds. That is why I dediced to write this post so that they can finally differenciate the concepts porperly. 


-TRAVEL is a verb (meaning "viajar") It  refers to the activity of moving form one place to another ( I want to travel the world). It is also an uncuontable noun (He told us about his travels to Asia)


-TRIP refers to travalling short distances, or an unusual or particular journey, as going on holidays. It is a noun, meaning "viaje". It is the word we use to indicate that we are going to stay in the place (A trip to Hawaii is the trip of my dreams or I didn't enjoy our trip to Mallorca last summer)


-JOURNEY is used to refer to travelling a long distance, or travelling regularly. It can also describe going form one point to another (How was your journey from Madrid to Barcelona?)

However, in English, they are different depending on the context.  Let's have a look and learn how to differenciate them and how to use them properly.  👀 SEE (VER) is used to things we see in an unconscious way. That is to say, we see something because we have got eyes  and w e use it when we are not focusing our energy or attention on something, but it comes into our field of vision.       I can see you      I saw an accident on my way to school yesterday 👀 LOOK (MIRAR) is used for things wee see consciously, because we want to. It means that we direct our eyes at something and pay attention to it      Look carefully to notice the difference between the two pictures.      What are you doing?

VERBS FOLLOWED BY TO- INFINITIVE OR -ING FORM

 In English, if you want to follow a verb with another action, you must use a gerund or infinitive. For example: We resumed talking.   ( gerund  – verb + ing) I want to see a movie.   ( infinitive  – to + base verb)  This is a complex matter among ESL (English as a second language) students and it is important to master te topic as soon as possible, so that you don't make mistakes in speaking and writing. Here are some of the most common verbs that are usually followed by the gerund. enjoy: I enjoyed  living  in France. fancy: I fancy  seeing  a film tonight. discuss: We discussed  going  on holiday together. dislike: I dislike  waiting  for buses. finish: We've finished  preparing  for the meeting. mind: I don't mind  coming  early. suggest: He suggested  staying  at the Grand Hotel. recommend: They recommended  meeting  earlier. keep: He kept  working , although he felt ...
