Two's Company

Each group below has two missing letters. The correct letters will form two words : a 5-letter word that ends with the two missing letters and a 6-letter word that begins with them. For example : filling WOV—TIRE with the letters EN would form WOVEN and ENTIRE. When you’ve done them all correctly, a phrase will be spelled out by the first letters of your entries.
