“Back to school” and other English expressions with “back”
We’re in the middle os September, which means something special for millions of students and teachers around the world . . . it’s time to go back to
Of course, at Aulaglobal, September is also a “back to school” month because we have open enrollment, some students (preschool, and primary) begin their classes and we know teenagers and adults are looking forward to Octobe when they back to English.
So... Why don’t we have a look at some expressions with “back”?
Back and forth (idiom)
Moving in one direction and then in the other direction.
Example: I went back and forth in the parking lot because I
couldn’t find my car!
