    Collocations

    | Colloquial Pairs Phrases | Business English

    from Kenneth Beare


    What is a Collocation? A collocation is a word pair that goes together. Collocations are
    taken by examining a large body of works in English (Corpus) and establishing the
    pairs of words that most often go together. Some pairs of words always go together.
    Collocations most commonly occur for verb-noun pairs (ride a bike, make a telephone
    call, etc.), and adjective-noun pairs (high expectation, heavy smoker, etc.).
    Many collocations are probably already familiar to you (do housework, make the bed,
    drive a car) whereas others are probably less familiar (high density, break a promise).
    This lesson provides a number of example sheets and quizzes focusing on
    collocations.

    When describing physical objects you can use a wide variety of adjectives such as:
    large, big, tiny, minuscule, small, etc. However, when describing nouns that are not
    physical (e.g. joy, anger, wealth) you need to pay careful attention to the choice of
    intensifying adjectives. This feature provides a guide to the use of the most common
    intensifying adjectives for non-physical nouns.
