The collocation of words is important to discuss, because the meaning of words change based on context. Let me give you an example of the word, "bar." In one sentence, it could mean a place where people go to get drinks. In another sentence, it can mean a thin metal object. Still in another sentence, it could mean the test that law students need to pass. The point is that the collocation of words determine the meaning of words. Context is key. With this point in mind, you will be well on your way to being a better reader and user of words. Some common collocations are:
abject + poverty
burden + of proof
You will be able to think of much more. Also I will add a study on this. Please read carefully, since there are many good examples of how langauge works.
