Learning English the Newspaper Way

I never liked reading story books. Ever since young, the only way my English improved was through the newspapers. But they never taught me how to write creative stories with big bombastic words. Neither did they teach me how the English language could be structurally broken down and analysed.

Today, I learnt from the papers that English could be linked to my favourite subject - Maths. In the English language, a binomial is an idionmatic expression consisting of a pair of words linked by a conjunction or a prepostion. Because the paids of words are so closely connected, they are also known informally as Siamese twins.

Binomials are be fitted into the following categories:

Synonyms: Peace and quiet, Null and void, Cheek by jowl
Meaning of 'cheek by jowl' = are very close to each other

Antonyms: Sooner or later, For better or for worse, Back and forth
Meaning of 'back and forth' = from side to side

Alliteration: Kith and kin, Life and limb, Mix and match, Tit for tat
Meaning of 'kith and kin' = both friends and family

Rhyme: Fair and sqaure, Wear and tear, High and Dry
Meaning of 'high and dry' = left helpless in a situation because you aren't given something you need or were promised
