ESL Vocabulary – Symmetry

Need a lesson to build up your vocabulary quickly? Try this video lesson.

In English, there are groups of words that have a natural partner. We use these groups of words in literal situations.

We also use these words as idioms. In linguistics, I think these kinds of natural groupings of words are called collocations. Here is an example: salt and pepper.
