In this lesson, we will show you common English collocations with “have”, “do”, “make”, “take”, “break”, “catch”, “pay”, “save”, “keep”, “come”, “go” and “get”. In this 100+ collocations list that will enrich your vocabulary and help you to speak natural and fluent English.

You can also download collocations free PDF down below. Collocations are the word combinations, we use together in English. Word partnership or words that are commonly used together in English called collocations.

word + word = collocation

For example you can say “take a nap” but you can’t say “do a nap” or “make a nap“. “A quick shower” is a meaningful word pair in English but we can’t use “a fast shower” instead of that.

When you don’t use these word pairs properly and make mistakes, people will still understand you but you won’t sound fluent or natural at all. I recommend writing your own sentences with these collocations and take your time and don’t rush..!
