(Teaching) Trinomials

English also has a number of words which occur in groups of three. 

Tri-nomials are three words which occur together in a fixed order. (The prefix tri- means three.) 

They are like idioms and are fixed phrases which people tend to use in more informal situations. 

wine, women and song 

cool, calm and collected - relaxed, not worried or stressed

lock, stock and barrel

morning, noon and night - We worded morning, noon and night to complete the project. 

ready, willing and able - I'm ready, willing and able to help with the stock take.

signed, sealed and delivered - the deal was signed, sealed and delivered.
