Learn 20 confusing collocations in English

Learn 20 confusing collocations in English

Do you know the difference between "making trouble" and "taking the trouble"?

What about "having fun" and "making fun"?

Today I'm going to clarify 20 confusing collocations with the words do, have, make, and take. The meaning often changes depending on which verb is used.

If you want to remember these collocations better, I'd encourage you to try writing your own example sentences using each one – this will help establish the differences in your memory.

You can learn even more with my e-book, 1000 Collocations in 10 Minutes a Day.

It's full of quick lessons and quizzes that will teach you tons of common collocations, so that you can expand your vocabulary and be able to express yourself better in English – and also avoid mistakes with collocations, avoid putting words together in a way that sounds unnatural.

I believe this is actually my most popular e-book; everyone loves how easy it is to complete the lessons!

Thanks for watching and I'll talk to you next time :-)
