Collocation Practice

Dear Blog Readers;

I`ve recently add a new part “Collocation Practice” to the tags here, and now it`s high time you know a little more about collocations and their usages.

Collocations are common combinations of words and they are a major key to fluency, for example look at these sentences containing the word ‘problem’:

1.       There is a great deal of indecision over how to tackle the problem.

2.       I believe that traffic congestion in large cities is an insurmountable problem.

3.       We must get to the root of this problem. We need to discover the cause.

You can see that problem collocates with the verb tackle, with the adjective insurmountable, and it forms a noun with the root of. And these are only a few of its collocations!

Remember:

Learning new vocabulary is not just learning new words;

It is also learning familiar word in new combinations.

Hope you can learn and use them.
