hey...
collocation is a group of words that usually go together. For example, inEnglish, we usually say 'heavy rain'. It's correct grammatically to say 'strong rain' or 'big rain', but both of these sound completely strange. A nativeEnglish speaker would never say 'big rain'. ... Collocations are very, very important.
