Collocations Practice Activities

A collocation is a combination of words that are often seen together. In other words, a set of words might “sound right” because they are so commonly grouped together.

Collocations are useful to know in order to boost your vocabulary, fluency, written discourse and overall writing and speaking scores on the PTE and IELTS.
