β³οΈ Collocations
A collocation is a combination of words that is used together frequently. It's actually a common phrase.
β 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.
π¬ Here are some more examples of collocations:
β¨Fully aware ("We are fully aware of the problem.")
β¨ Do homework ("I will do my homework later.")
β¨Give a speech ("He gave a very good speech at the conference.")
