So, in conclusion, understanding a word and knowing how to use it

will improve with knowing words that are oten used with it. These

words are called collocates. "n other words, collocates are words

that #hang out$ with other words or that are commonly ound

together. Thats why you were able to replace the previous wordswith a synonym without changing other words in the sentence.

'irst the ad(ectives that might collocate with it, then the verbs, then

nouns, prepositions, and even some common phrasal collocations.

Thereore collocates are very useul because they tell us how to use

a word in relation to other words. This is important inormation to

know because words are used dierently in )nglish than in other

languages.
