19 English Collocations with Think | A Smart Way to Boost Vocabulary & English Fluency

I know you’ve heard me use the word collocations before. But what exactly are English collocations? And how can they help you boost vocabulary and English fluency?

Here’s something to think about:

When talking about tidying up the house, why do English speakers say:
- Do the dishes
- Do the laundry
- Do some ironing

And then…
- Make the bed

Why not ‘do the bed?’

The answer: collocations.

English speakers use collocations in all conversations and forms of communication. Familiarity with collocations can help you strengthen your comprehension skills and help you build sentences in English more quickly, improving your fluency.

In this Confident English lesson, I’ll help you get started with your focus on collocations using 19 common English Collocations with ‘Think.’

This includes collocations that

- Include the word ‘think’
- Express what you think
- Indicate that one thought has led to another
- Ask for time to think
- Describe what others think
- Show that you have some doubts about what you think

After you watch, practice English collocation with my two challenges questions.
