100% Free (unlimited): Every lookup is open without an account or a payment: the collocations, definitions, thesaurus entries, idioms, example sentences and usage notes appear together on the same result page, and there is no limit on how many words a learner looks up.
How It Helps Your Business English
A search box takes one word and returns six kinds of information about it: the collocations it forms, grouped into clusters, its definitions, its synonyms and antonyms, the idioms and phrases it appears in, example sentences, and usage notes. The collocations section covers seventy-four thousand headwords.
You type the noun or verb you are about to use and read the cluster of words that normally go with it, which settles the usual choice before you commit to one. The example sentences show the pairing in a full sentence, and the usage notes mark where one word fits and a near-synonym does not. It works well kept open beside a draft.
