✳️ Collocations

A collocation is a combination of words that is used together frequently. It's actually a common phrase.

✍ For example: "commit a crime" is a typical combination of words in English. You could say "make a crime," and it wouldn't be incorrect, but many people tend to use these words together, and it sounds right to a native. So "commit a crime" is a collocation.

Another example: we say "heavy traffic" not "strong traffic," and so forth.

😬 Here are some more examples of collocations:

✨Fully aware ("We are fully aware of the problem.")

✨ Do homework ("I will do my homework later.")

✨Give a speech ("He gave a very good speech at the conference.")
