LESSON 4 · Everyday Expressions & Idioms
Your Upgrade Plan
Make these habits part of your daily English practice:
- Avoid learning a word alone — record it with its useful collocations
- Keep a journal with entries like "commit (a crime, to a goal, to memory)"
- Read daily in English so your brain absorbs natural pairs passively
- Use a collocation dictionary (such as the Oxford Collocations Dictionary) when you are unsure
- Self-test by covering the verb and guessing it from the noun, or the reverse
Collocations are the quiet ingredient of natural-sounding English.
