One way to learn words is by paying attention to the other words occurring before or after them. These are called collocations. Some words occur in small groups of 2-4 words;

others collocate with large groups of words.

 

Here are some examples:

 

THE VOCABULARY ITEM	ITS COLLOCATIONS
kind	one kind of + noun the first kind of + noun the best kind is
fact	It is a well-known fact that + sentence the fact that + sentence

 

You may be unsure what collocations are appropriate.

Luckily, there is a free website which you can use to discover the collocations of your word.

If you need guidance as to how to use this site,

go to GUIDELINES;
