COLLOCATIONS - HERE THEY COME AGAIN! :)

As you already know, a collocation is a pair or group of words that are often used together.  There are many different grammatical categories of collocations, of which these are some of the most common:

* Adjective + Noun
* Adverb + Adjective
* Noun + Verb
* Verb + Adverb
* Verb + Noun
* Verb + Preposition

And collocations are extremely important when speaking English, because if you get them wrong it can change the meaning of what you say, or make no sense whatsoever.  Moreover, they are a big part of getting yourself a decent score in the Use of English part of the exam.

So what do you say we do some more collocation exercises, huh?  Excellent! :)
