It's Saturday morning — chore time! 🧹 Complete the family's to-do list by choosing the best word for each gap.
Dad: I'll _________________________ the laundry.
Mum: I need to _________________________ the clothes before we go out.
Tom: Fine, I'll _________________________ the carpet in the living room.
The correct answers are do, iron, and vacuum.
We say do the laundry — "do" collocates with household tasks (do the laundry, do the washing-up, do the housework).
We say iron the clothes — "iron" is the verb used for removing wrinkles from fabric with a hot appliance.
We say vacuum the carpet — "vacuum" is the natural verb for cleaning carpets with a vacuum cleaner.
