用法筆記
Commonly paired with verbs of motion or revelation: set forth (present / begin a journey), bring forth (produce / give birth to), come forth (emerge), go forth (leave / proceed), and burst forth (suddenly appear). The multi-word expressions 'and so forth' (meaning 'and other similar things') and 'back and forth' (meaning 'first one way then the other') are fixed phrases; learners should memorise them as single units rather than trying to analyse 'forth' separately.
