Collocations are the key to fluent English. Learning words on their own may help us to communicate, but we must try and learn how words combine with other words so that our English sounds natural.
The Online OXFORD Collocation Dictionary can be a more than effective tool for those students who take this aspect of their English learning in earnest.
The Online OXFORD Collocation Dictionary gives us guidance on common word combinations (150,000 collocations for 9,000 headwords), offering more than 50,000 examples to show us how the collocations are used in context.
