Episode Synopsis

Accompanying blog post: https://intrepidenglish.co.uk/what-is-a-collocation/A collocation is when two or more words often go together. For example, in English we usually say use the verb ‘strike’ before the noun ‘deal’. So the collocation is ‘strike a deal’ which means to succeed in securing a deal with a company. Although you could say we ‘hit a deal’ it sounds unnatural, when to ‘strike a deal’ is a natural example.  Some common verbs used in collocations are: have, go, make, do, take, break, catch, save, keep, pay, among many others. In today's podcast, Tom  introduces some common English collocations.____________________________________________________________Find out more about Intrepid English here:https://intrepidenglish.co.uk/​Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/intrepidenglishInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/intrepidenglish/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/IntrepidenglishLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intrepid-english/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com.mx/intrepidenglish/
