A fixed expression is a standard form of expression that has taken on a more specific meaning than the expression itself. It is different from a proverb in that it is used as a part of a sentence, and is the standard way of expressing a concept or idea. Examples include: * ''all of a sudden'' * ''come into mind'' * ''fall in line'' * ''I can assure you'' * ''so to speak'' * ''surf the web'' * Siamese twins or irreversible binomials like ''mix and match'', ''wear and tear'', and ''rock and roll'' * trinomials (3-word fixed expressions); e.g. ''lights, camera, action'', ''signed, sealed, and delivered'', and ''lock, stock, and barrel''. ==See also== * Idiom * Phrase 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fixed expression」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
