Collocation is a group of words that usually go together. For example, in English, we usually say “ heavy rain ”. It’s correct grammatically to say “ strong rain ” or “ big rain ”, but both of these sound completely strange. A native English speaker would never say “big rain”. If you use the normal collocation (“heavy rain”) your English will sound a lot better and more natural and it will be easier for native speakers to understand you. Collocations are very important. It is very difficult to give a list of collocations, because there are so many. In fact, almost every word in English has other words that it usually goes with. Set phrases, verb patterns, and idioms are really just strong examples of collocations too. For example, in English, we say “ get married to someone ”. Many languages use “ with ” after “ marry ” (which certainly seems logical). But this isn’t normal way in English. If you learn the whole phrase (“get married to someone”), then you won’t make this mistake. 257 There are various reasons of learning collocations. Firstly, your language will be more natural and more easily understood. Secondly, you will have alternative and richer ways of expressing yourself. Thirdly, it is easier for our brains to remember and use language in chunks or blocks rather than as single words. Some of us are often confused by the use of terms “collocations”, “compound”, “phrasal verbs” or “idioms”. Yet all terms describe particular words with a distinctive meaning they differ from each other. It’s useful to know the differences between them. In contrast to collocations compounds are units of meaning formed with two or more words. Sometimes the words are written separately, sometimes they have a hyphen and sometimes they are written as one word. Usually the meaning of the compound can be guessed by knowing the meaning of the individual words .Some examples of compound are Yüklə 7,27 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
