Select the correct word:
Collocations are words that just "go together." For example, we say "make a mistake" but "do homework." There’s no strict grammatical reason for these pairings—it’s just how the language has evolved!
Learning collocations is the secret to sounding like a native speaker. Instead of memorizing single words, learn which words are "best friends." In this section, you'll master the most common and confusing word pairs, especially with verbs like "make," "do," "have," and "take." Get ready for 25 practical exercises!
| Verb | Used For | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Make | Creation, plans, speech | Make a cake, make a decision, make noise |
| Do | Tasks, jobs, general actions | Do homework, do the dishes, do your best |
Other Common Pairs
It's not just verbs! Nouns and adjectives have partners too. We say "heavy rain" (not "strong rain") and "fast food" (not "quick food"). Paying attention to these natural combinations will boost your fluency instantly.
Tricky Cases
Watch out for common mistakes when using Collocations. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and how different contexts can change the correct form. Some patterns might seem similar but have important differences.
Remember that context matters. The same sentence structure might work differently depending on whether you're talking about the past, present, or future, or whether you're making a statement or asking a question.
