English collocations
In English, collocation refers to a natural combination of words closely related to one another. Some examples are "to take a risk," "to do homework " and "to give someone advice." Collocations make it easier to avoid overused or ambiguous words such as "very," "nice" or "beautiful" by using a pair of words that better fit the context and have a more accurate meaning. Skilled language users can bring about effects such as humour by varying the normal collocation patterns. The approach is particularly popular among poets, journalists and advertisers.
Difference between phrasal verbs and collocations
In the sentence, a collocation can perform various functions (i.e. act as different parts of the speech). Usually, a phrasal verb is a combination of a verb + a preposition that usually changes the meaning of the original verb. So that is better to memorize phrasal verbs than just learning the definition of the verbs, and then the prepositions separately. To learn phrasal verbs, you can check out the Phrasal Verbs course on our website.
