Can you help me?
One of my students has written "domestic hold chores". I think she should have written "household chores" What do you think? Is it possible to say "domestic household chores"? Thanks in advance for your help. Have a great evening!! |

Hello, Tachitorres,�
though it sounds a bit punctilious to me, I guess it �s acceptable. If you try to google it up, it �ll show. Maybe native speakers could give us a helpful hand?� Nice evening to everybody, Mish |

The meaning of CHORE is:
1. a small job that you have to do regularly, esp work that you do to keep a house clean
2. an activity that you have to do but it is unpleasant or boring.
collocations:
a household chore = a chore in the home; household chores such as ironing and washing up
a domestic chore = a chore such as cleaning or putting things away; Everyone in the flat shared the cooking and domestic chores.
As you can see both are ok if used separately and the meaning is the same.

You can say household chores or domestic chores, (both words are not needed as that would be repetition) though housework is the common term.
You can �t say domestic hold chores - it has no meaning. |
