^hello\sworld$
  • ^ will anchor the beginning of the string, the $ will anchor the end of the string
  • hello: matches the first word 'hello'
  • \s: matches the space
  • world: matches the second word 'world'

\b[a-zA-Z]+\s[a-zA-Z]+\b

as \w could match numbers also.

\b is a word boundary

\w+\s\w+

At least one word character, then a space (or tab, or what have you), then at least another word character.

Here's what it looks like:
