Are you sure you're learning them correctly, or do they leave you utterly baffled? Do you struggle to carve out time to thoroughly study them?This practical book offers a comprehensive exploration of collocations. Key features of this resource include 40 units on topics frequently covered in coursebooks, 600 collocations applied in context, 80 exercises complete with answers, 120 prompts for speaking and writing tasks, and an index featuring over 2,200 collocations.David Bohlke, an esteemed author, editor, trainer, and consultant in English language teaching (ELT), has played a pivotal role in commissioning, editing, and crafting some of the most successful courses and skills texts in the adult, secondary, and academic English markets.
