in English​

Let's check this out​

Overview

​When particular words are put together with ‘make’, ‘do’, or ‘have’, they become ‘collocations’. In language terms, collocation refers to a word or phrase commonly used with another word or phrase.

We'll learn collocation of make, have, be, and do today. ​

HAVE

‘Have’ normally indicates possession. ‘Have’ is often used with fixed events, just like in the example above of having a party. 

​

​

HAVE an interview

​

​

​

​ Some common events used with ‘have’ include:

-A break: “I haven’t had a break all morning and I’m starving!”

-A meeting: “Let’s have a meeting to discuss the upcoming budget cuts.”

Breakfast, lunch, dinner (meals): “Do you want to have lunch together today?”

-A holiday: “Lucy hasn’t had a holiday since 2010! She’s a workaholic!”

-An interview: “I have four interviews coming up this week. I’m so nervous!”

​

​

Other common collocations with ‘have’ involve types of discussion or ways of speaking (often between two people), such as:

- A disagreement/an argument:

- A conversation:

- A chat:

​Do

​We often use ‘do’ when there is a particular task involved. Some common expressions relating to jobs and relating to the home include:

​

• ​The housework (cleaning and tidying the house)

• Homework (work you do after school)

• The shopping (buying groceries – not clothes! That’s ‘go shopping’)

​Do

Then there are fixed expressions which don’t particularly relate to any type of action. ‘Do’ is also used with:

​

• Business: “It’s a pleasure doing business with you. I’m looking forward to our two companies working together more.”

• Good. To do good means to make a positive difference – charity workers do good in the world. The opposite, do harm, means to make a negative difference. 

• Well. To ‘do well’ often means to be successful, but it can also speak about progress in someone who has been ill – when they start recovering, they are ‘doing well’. 

Make

​

​Make is commonly used when talking about what we are doing when we speak.

We make:

• A promise

• A deal/offer

• A statement

• A compromise

• A mistake/error

• A complaint

• An excuse

• A suggestion

• An apology

Make

​

​Make is also used in other common set expressions:

• Make progress

• Make peace

• Make money

• Make a difference

• Make a wish
