  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Idioms 253. The idiom today is come and

  • go. Okay. So let's take a look at the note here. This idiom refers to something that

  • exists or happens for a short period of time and then seems to suddenly

  • disappear or go away. Or we have a second meaning where you can come and then

  • depart again. So somebody could literally come and then leave. So it has both

  • meanings. Let's look at the first example here. My chronic back pain comes and goes.

  • Some days are better than others. So this, this one will continue to return

  • and then go away again. Continue to return and then go away. So we often mean

  • it in that way. It comes and goes. So it may repeatedly come and go. All right. Let's

  • look at number 2 here. Prime Ministers come and go, but the royal family

  • continues to keep their position , their positions decade after decade or maybe

  • even century after century. They just go on and on, but Prime Minister's come and

  • go all the time. Every four years or five years or however long they last. Okay.

  • Number three. Fashions come and go all the time. Sometimes an older fashion may

  • even make a comeback after a few decades. Yeah. So we hear this one a lot with

  • fashion. We often say fashions come and go. They're here and then they're gone. Before

  • you know it. What happened ? It's over. Ah ! That's out of fashion already. Okay

  • good. And number four. This is you know to the second meaning here. MR. Smith

  • already came and went for the day. You will have to try to catch him tomorrow.

  • So I don't maybe somebody wanted to see a doctor. Or somebody they went there and

  • he already left for the day. He came in he was there for a while. For a number of

  • hours, but he already left he already went home. Okay. So he came and went.

  • Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.

  • Bye-bye.
