Topic Collocation
What is Collocation? Collocation is a way in which some words are often used together by native speakers of a language, and sound natural together. Example: I missed the bus. A heavy smoker. Or we often say heavy rain, or light rain, instead of strong rain or mild rain, heavy goes well with rain, whereas strong does not.

Not: She was released from hospital. other combinations may be unnatural and just sound "wrong" natural English... unnatural English... the fast train fast food the quick train quick food a quick shower a quick meal a fast shower a fast meal

Why do we learn collocations? Our language will be more natural and more easily understood. You will have alternative and richer ways of expressing yourself. It is easier for our brains to remember and use language in chunks or blocks rather than as single words.
How to learn collocations Be aware of collocations, and try to recognize Treat collocations as single blocks of language. When you learn a new word, write down other words that collocate with it Read as much as possible. Revise what you learn regularly. Practise using new collocations in context as soon as possible after learning them. Learn collocations in groups that work for you. You can find information on collocations in any good learner's dictionary.
