Collocations

Collocations

This week I worked on collocations. I looked for exercises on different websites and the ones that I found more useful were Grammar Quizzes and Perfect English Grammar. The practice in the first website was about selecting from a list of prepositions the one that best completed each sentence. On Perfect English Grammar, I had to type the correct prepositions that matched with the adjectives given.

Just in case you want to practice, these are the links:

I think the first exercise is great because it contains 26 items with different verbs, and people can receive feedback right away. Also, I learned that there is more than an option when using a collocation and sometimes it depends on the context.

In addition, I do liked the second practice because it was a little bit trickier and I could analyze cases with adjectives.  I definitely recommend both websites, they are such good tools.
