Grammar is part of the language. It helps us to speak and write correctly.

But there is much more to language than grammar.

English has thousands of words – vocabulary, collocations, idioms and

expressions. We express what we mean most by our choice of vocabulary.

If you spend most of your time studying grammar, your English will not

improve very much.

You will see most improvement if you learn more words and expressions.You can say very little with grammar, but you can say almost anything with words!Dellar and Hocking, Innovations, 2000

Examples:

Verb + Noun collocation

take a nap

take on a new employee

take turns playing the game

Adverb + Adjective collocation

immensely popular

extremely boring

Appropriacy

“I’m sorry I’m late teacher. I hope I didn’t lose anything”

The correct answer is miss anything. You may lose your pen or book but not information of a classroom.That is the way a native speaker of English would speak.

.

Possible types of collocations:

Verb + Noun collocations

Verbs with Do, Have, Go, Make ,Take, Get

Adjective + Noun collocations

Adverb + Adjective collocations

Phrasal Verbs

Collocations containing prepositions

Adapted from BBC | British Council Think. Lexical notebook in http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/articles/lexical-notebooks

You must NOT see words as individuals.

You must try and see combinations of words. This is a good way for you to see language you

need to use and produce better quality language.

By looking at language this way you will be able to reach a high level of language proficiency
