Tricky Collocations
A worksheet on collocations that are common among native speakers but not so among ESL speakers. The answers are on the back. It contains some that never seem to collocate with anything else except just 1 or 2 words (such as piping hot) although most of them have slightly wider collocations. If anybody can think of any more that collocate to just 1...
