How to use "To and fro" in context?
When we talk about motion, words like forward, backward, and turning are all common descriptors. But what about motion that is in one direction but then switches directions? This type of motion is called "to and fro." In everyday life, we often encounter to and fro motion when we go shopping. We walk into the store and browse the shelves, but then we head out the door and start walking in the opposite direction. Interestingly, this type of motion is not just found in shopping. To and fro motion can also be found when a wing airplane rotates around its vertical axis.
