Collocation Example

Here’s an example of collocations for a common and important word in English: money
These are fairly set pairs of words - the trick is to find out which verbs and adjectives are used with which nouns.

Money - with verbs
spend money
save money
make money
earn money
lose money
exchange money
put money in the bank
deposit money in the bank
take money out of the bank
withdraw money from the bank

Money - with adjectives
fake money
extra money

Add to my list with your own!
Try some collocation quizes (some are very hard!)
