🔊 Collocations 🔊

🔴 What are collocations❓

👩‍🏫 Definition:
To put it simply, collocations are words that go together or form fixed relationships. For example, a correct collocation would be heavy rain, not thick rain or strong rain or even big rain!

🧏‍♀ If you use the right collocations, your English would sound much more natural and a lot better! If you want natives to understand you better, then study collocations carefully.
