3.- Collocations

There are different types of collocations:

1. Adverb + adjective (quite interesting)

2. Adjective + noun (strong tea)

3. Noun + noun (pack of dogs)

4. Noun + verb (cat purrs)

5. Verb + noun (do the dishes)

6. Verb + prepositional phrase (burst into tears)

7. Verb + adverb (walk slowly)

A common problem when using collocations is literal translation. In Spanish, for example, we don't “do the
dishes” (hacer los platos), so translating could lead to mistakes. Another common mistake for Spanish
speakers is the use of make and do, both words translating to hacer. Here are some examples of
common collocates for each verb:

Do Make Meaning
the cooking a suggestion

the shopping the bed

an effort an exception

the homework a friend

business a list

well a mistake

a favor a phone call

an experiment a plan

good
