Answer:
A collocation is two words which we use together as a set phrase. For example we say a “tall building” rather than a “high building”. We use collocations all the time in English, so learning and using them will make you sound more natural.
There are different types of collocations. For example:
adjective + noun (“blonde hair”, not “yellow hair”)
noun + noun (“pack of dogs”, not “group of dogs”)
verb + noun (“leave home”, not “go away from home”)
adverb + adjective (“beautifully behaved”, not “precisely behaved”)
verb + preposition, as in phrasal verbs (“work out a solution” not “think out a solution”)
verb + adverb (“breathe deeply” not “breathe profoundly”)
In this page you can find common collocations with prepositions.
