WordReference English Collocations

The WordReference English Collocations dictionary includes nearly 144913 English collocations for more than 7606 terms.

Collocations are basically words that tend to go together. For some reason, in English, we say "commit a crime," not "do a crime" or "enact a crime." That is just how the English language works!

In an effort to help non-native speakers of English write more idiomatically, we decided to undertake the creation of this work. We hope that you find it useful!
