01. Determine what the following four pairs of words have in common.
02. Prove your assumption by listing (in the comments) two additional DIFFERENT pairs of words using the same commonality.

01. Determine what the following four pairs of words have in common.
02. Prove your assumption by listing (in the comments) two additional DIFFERENT pairs of words using the same commonality.
aim please
come mama
fair middling
need know
Answer
Answer: Adding the word "to" in-between each pair of words gives us an idiomatic or colloquial expression."aim to please"
"come to mama"
"fair to middling"
"need to know"
An example of ones you might come up with; "keep to yourself", "made to order".
