Checking grammar and collocations

Phras.in can be a really interesting site that allows us to check two different ways of saying the same thing, so that we can decide which is most likely to be right.

If you type the two different ways of expressing something into the two fields, the site checks these through Google and shows you which is the most popular. This is a great way to check, for example, paired sentences with common mistakes. Also it is great to check collocations and find out whether you have the correct combinations of words or how popular different collocations are.

On top of that, it shows you the context in which it found the examples, so you can reinforce their learning by seeing some examples of the phrase used correctly in context.

So if you aren't sure whether to say 'do my bed' or 'make my bed', or you don't remember whether it is 'housework' or 'houseworks', Phras.in is the online collocation dictionary for you.

I found this site through Nik Peachy's QuickShout.
