    definition
    A collocation is a group of two or more words that are almost
    always put together to create a specific meaning. Using a
    different combination of words sounds unnatural or awkward.
    Some common collocations are: to make a mistake, a big
    decision.
    Collocations are important because they make your language
    sound natural. If you master collocations, your English will be
    more idiomatic, that is, more similar to the way it is spoken by
    native speakers.
    types of collocations
    There are several different types of collocations, made from combinations of verbs, nouns,
    adjectives, and preposition. A few of the most common types are:

    - Noun + noun: cup of tea - Verb + preposition: depend on


    Example : Can I have a cup of tea? Example : Jill always depends on her parents.
    - Noun + verb: sun rises - Adjective + noun: bad luck
    Example : The sun rises in the east. Example : Lidya had bad luck yesterday.
    - Verb + noun: do the dishes - Adjective + preposition: afraid of
    Example : I do the dishes every morning. Example : My little brother is afraid of cats.
    - Verb + adverb: speak loudly - Adverb + adjective: incredibly smart
    Example : You need to speak loudly to stop the riot. Example : She is incredibly smart.
    Collocations may be strong or weak. Strong collocations are where the link between the two
    words is quite fixed and restricted. Weak collocations are where a word can collocate with many
    other words.
    Type of collocations Collocation Explanation

    Strong collocations make Very few words can collocate with the
    noun wish. This makes wish a strong
    express + a wish collocator.
    fulfil

    Weak collocations big+ apartment, beach, car, big can collocate with hundreds of words,
    camera, chance,
    therefore it’s a weak collocator.

    disappointment, fight, gun,


    lamp, moon, news,

    ocean, pain, pity, price, queue,


    table, umbrella,

    upset, wait, window


    Collocations For Opinions
    We can use collocations to express opinions, for example :
    -Stark Reality
    Meaning: clear facts, often unpleasant
    Examples: - The stark reality is that we are entering into a phase of rising inflation.
    - To Be Perfectly Honest
    Meaning: used when telling someone what you really think, even if it might upset them
    Examples: - To be perfectly honest, I think that we should just scrap this expensive holiday and stay at
    home.
    - Strongly Suspect That…
    Meaning: you believe that something is going to happen
    Examples: - I strongly suspect that the management will make that announcement next week.
    - To Take Someone’s Point
    Meaning: to understand, accept, agree with someone
    Example: - I take your point, I understand. And we will consider this plan, but not at the moment.
    - A Sneaking Suspicion
    Meaning: you’re not absolutely certain that something is happening, but you believe it might
    Example: - I have a sneaking suspicion that someone is planning a surprise party for me for my birthday.
