A ready-made phrase is a familiar group of words you can use as a whole in a common situation. It can greet someone, make an offer, or provide a sentence frame with space for new information. Languages have their own phrases, and a phrase in one language may have no fixed counterpart in another. Unlike Words that go together, this block focuses on a complete familiar expression or a reusable sentence frame.

Notice expressions that speakers repeatedly use for the same everyday task, sometimes keeping the whole phrase and sometimes changing just one part.

Ready-made chunks are essential for greetings, politeness, requests and common routines.
