Essential English grammar for B2 and C1 students
There is not always a grammatical reason why some words go together in English while others do not. That is what makes learning and remembering collocations a challenge.
If you've been studying English even for a short period of time, you've probably already come across a
considerable number
of collocations. Perhaps you encountered some the last time you
sat for an exam
. Are you confident that you're learning them correctly? Or do they make you
hopelessly confused
? Is it hard for you to
make time
to really learn them?

in-depth look
at collocations.
