Learn how words work together for fluent and natural English
课程介绍
This course can be catered to learners of all levels, but more beneficial for learners of Intermediate level and above, and focuses on learning English collocations, idioms and phrasal verbs which you will come across often when you listen to or read English.
Lessons will be topic-based and you are welcome to let me know in advance your topics of interest :)
- What is a collocation? -
A collocation is a pair or group of words that are often used together. These combinations sound natural to native speakers, but students of English have to make a special effort to learn them because they are often difficult to guess. Some combinations just sound ‘wrong’ to native speakers of English.
For example:
- You must make an effort and study for your exams (NOT do an effort)
- Did you watch TV last night? (NOT look at TV)
- This car has a very powerful engine. It can do 200 km an hour. (NOT strong engine)
- There are some ancient monuments nearby. (NOT antique monuments)
- What are idioms? -
Idioms are expressions which have a meaning that is not obvious from the individual words. For example, the idiom drive someone around the bend means make someone angry or frustrated, but we cannot know this just by looking at the words.
The best way to understand an idiom is to see it in context (and I'm going to provide that to you in the lesson), such as:
That noise is driving me around the bend! It's so annoying!
-What are phrasal verbs? -
Phrasal verbs are verbs which have a main verb and a particle which together create one meaning and you need to know the meaning of the whole phrasal verb as a unit. For example, look means to use your eyes and up means the opposite of down, but the phrasal verb look up can have several different meanings:

For example, look means to use your eyes and up means the opposite of down, but the phrasal verb look up can have several different meanings:
- Look the word up in the dictionary. (look up = search for information in a book/ computer)
- I'll look you up the next time I'm in London. (look up = visit someone you have not seen for a long time)
- Things are looking up. (look up = improve)
