You need to learn collocations because they will help you to speak and write English in a more natural and accurate way. People will probably understand what you mean if you talk about making a crime or say there was very hard rain this morning, but your language will sound unnatural and might be perhaps confusing. Did you mean that there was a lot of rain or perhaps that there was a hailstorm? Some typical collocation examples are “ pay attention”, “fast food”, “make an effort”, and “powerful engine”. Cry hysterically– if somebody is really upset they could be said to ‘cry hysterically’, but you wouldn’t expect to see somebody said to ‘cry frantically’ or hear of somebody who was said to ‘smile hysterically’ because it just isn’t common. This is important, because whilst there are other words available that certainly make sense, collocations are the words that are most often used together. To understand which words go together most often in English is to really show your mastery of the language by highlighting how you are aware of the words that fit best together, because it is used in that way more often than not. There are different types of collocations though, so we’ll take a look at some examples of these to better understand what a collocation really is.

The best part about talking with others is that they can point out when something isn’t right and it gives you the correct collocation instead.English Collocations in Use به صورت رایگان قرار داده شده است که مربوط به ویرایش دوم هستند. با کلیک بر روی هر لینک فایل PDF مربوط به سطح موردنظر را دانلود خواهید کرد. Sense of pride– if somebody is proud of somebody else, then they could be said to have a ‘sense of pride’. If we try changing the second noun, you can see how this doesn’t work as well because it’s not something we are used to seeing. Describing somebody as having a ‘sense of shame’ when they feel embarrassed by somebody’s actions is just not commonly used, even if it technically makes sense. Lions roar– when describing what a lion does in an aggressive fight for example, you would expect to see it being described as a ‘lions roar’. Whilst you could say ‘lions shout’ or even ‘bears roar’, it’s less common because they just aren’t put together and it will sound a little odd. Verb and Noun Other examples of collocations with adverb and adjective: fully aware, happily married, highly controversial, highly effective, highly probable, highly profitable… Adjective and Noun A good knowledge of collocations (typical word combinations) is essential for fluent and natural-sounding English.

Learning correct word combinations will also help you avoid common learner errors. English Collocations in Use presents and practises hundreds of collocations in typical contexts. It is ideal for students at good intermediate level and above.
