Collocations are an essential part of learning a new language and can greatly improve the naturalness of your English. A collocation is a group of words that are commonly used together and have become inseparable in everyday language. These collocations are based on real-life usage and can help you to sound more like a native speaker.

One example of a collocation is the phrase "fast food." While the phrase "quick food" technically means the same thing, it sounds incorrect to a native English speaker. This is because "fast food" is a commonly used collocation, while "quick food" is not. By learning and using collocations, you can improve the naturalness and fluency of your English.

There are many different types of collocations, including adjective-noun, noun-verb, and verb-adverb pairs. For example, "strong coffee," "make progress," and "drive carefully" are all collocations. By learning and using these common combinations of words, you can improve the accuracy and fluency of your English.

Learning collocations can be challenging, as they often go against the rules of grammar. For example, the collocation "make progress" does not follow the normal pattern of verb-object. However, native English speakers use this collocation frequently, and it sounds much more natural than saying "progress is made."

Here are some examples of common business collocations:

1. detailed information

2. straight answer

3. irreparable damage

4. wreak havoc

5. quick glance

6. attainable goal

7. stiff competition

8. meet criteria

9. attract investors

10. growing concern

11. vaguely familiar

12. sales figures

13. vast majority

14. do business

15. fully appreciate

16. deeply regret

17. mutually beneficial

18. wise choice

19. market leader

20. straight answer

21. go bankrupt

22. build trust

23. unsolicited advice

24. join forces

25. build trust

There are many resources available for learning collocations, including dictionaries and language learning websites.

It's also helpful to pay attention to how native speakers use collocations in everyday language, and try to incorporate them into your own speech and writing.

With practice and exposure, you can easily improve your use of collocations and take your English to the next level.
