"Go diving" or "go to diving'?
When learning English it's important to learn collocations. Collocations are groups of words that appear together in a sentence. Take a look at the following verb collocations. Each verb goes with a word or phrase:
- Go shopping
- Go to the shops
- Do my homework
- Tidy up my room
- Rent a car
- Go out for a walk
- Work overtime
- Get married
- Go on a trip
- Give me some help
Now match up the verbs to the correct words and phrases.
- us some advice
- a cruise
- skiing
- for dinner
- the bank
- the washing up
- part-time
- my flat
- a villa for the summer
- divorced
Link: Which sentences have mistakes?
- Go
- Go to
- Do
- Tidy up
- Rent
- Go out
- Work
- Get
- Go on
- Give

Thanks for collocations
Don't forget to do the washing up! Then you'll be able to go on a cruise.
We are planning to rent a yacht for a cruise. And please, tidy up your room before!
It seems a dreadful story, I hope it reads at least grammatically well.
wonderful
this is a wonderful exercise i love to do this

just divorced!
This summer I will probably get divorced since my wife is very upset that I don't tidy up the flat and I don't do the washing. Therefore I need you to give me an advice. Since I'm going to be kicked out of the flat, I thought I'd better go to the bank and withdraw all my savings and go on a cruise or rent a villa for the summer, go to pastures new. Or I might turn over a new leaf and start doing what she wants me to do. What do you think I should do?
Of course you should make up with your wife
I suppose that your story is an invented one.
Anyway, I think that getting divorced is a really bad situation!
Are they like as phrasal verbs?
Very nice and useful exercise. Thank you. Every time you can forget the collocation, it is like phrasal verb, isn't it?
Thanks
Good effort thanks .
