Collocations are words that naturally go together in English.Native speakers use them automatically… but learners often try to translate or guess them. 👉 That’s where the confusion starts. ❗ Why they’re confusing: Because many combinations are NOT logical. For example: - ❌ Do a decision → sounds wrong - ✅ Make a decision → correct Why? There’s no rule. It’s just how English works. 🔹 Common Collocations 🧠 With “make” and “do” - Make a mistake (not do a mistake) - Make money - Do homework (not make homework) - Do exercise 💬 With verbs + nouns - Take a break (not make a break) - Have a meeting (not do a meeting) - Give advice (not make advice) 🔥 Natural combinations - Strong coffee (not powerful coffee) - Heavy rain (not strong rain) - Big mistake (not large mistake) ⚠️ Common mistake: Students translate from Spanish: - ❌ Make a party - ✅ Have a party 💡 Key idea: You don’t learn English word by word…👉 You learn it in chunks. That’s how you sound natural.
