The textbook’s first section “Learning about Collocations” includes six units delineating collocations’ hierarchy, for example, strong, fixed and weak; grammatical categories, for example, verb+noun, noun+verb, noun+noun; and information on how to combine these parts to complete sentences, and the resultant meaning of such combinations. To find out about other components and levels in this course, please contact us and we'd be very happy to advise.

Più di 1000 ''collocations'' spiegate in dettaglio attraverso topics delle più svariate aree tematiche; a differenza dell'omonimo libro di livello ''intermediate'' questo tratta temi utili ad uno studente che si sta preparando almeno per superare l'Advanced, se non il Proficiency. At the end of the book, there’s an exercise key and an index listing all the collocations presented and where each can be found.

Libro consigliatissimo , ma da abbinare sicuramente ad altri testi che trattino non solo le collocazioni, ma la grammatica, gli idiomi, il vocabolario etc, etc.
