How It Helps Your Business English
After a short explanation of what collocations are, the page lists over two hundred and twenty of them by category, beginning with the verb and noun pairings built on make, do, have and take. A practice exercise with an answer key follows, then a section on the mistakes learners make most and how to correct them.
You read a category at a time and note the pairings you have been getting wrong, which the page shows beside the correct form. When you reach the practice exercise, answer it before looking at the key, then return to the categories where you slipped. The tips at the end give you ways to hold pairings in memory as whole chunks.
