Preface A collocation is two or more words that often go together. Some word combinations simply sound ”right” to native English speakers and others sound ”wrong” or unnatural to native speakers. Learning collocations is demanding but there are benefits: Your language will be more natural and people will understand you more easily. Besides, Power English often consists of chunks or blocks or even complete meanings rather than single words. You will find below a compilation of entries that the contributing students found interesting. Their task was to illustrate the usage of these words in meaningful contexts. Strictly speaking not all example sentences here are collocations but the bulk of them offer interesting inroads into general usage of the entries and are thus valuable to advanced students of English. Enjoy!

SEARCH She is desperately searching for her engagement ring which she has lost. I was searching through my drawer to find a pair of socks to wear. The FBI launched a worldwide search for the killer. The girl is constantly in search of her rambunctious puppy. My suspicious neighbours house has been thoroughly searched for drugs. She searched in her purse and found the lipstick. My mom was forced into a body search in a security check at the airport. She has searched high and low, but she can't find her glasses. I searched my mind for the password, but I couldn't remember it. My aunt has searched after true love her entire life, without success.

FUN I was doing it for fun. My sister really enjoyed the party, she said it was such good fun. It's no fun to wake up on monday mornings after a relaxing weekend. My little puppy is the best fun to be with. He is making fun of his own mother. I hope you have fun during your trip in the US. Eating pizza with your best friend while watching Disney is truly the funniest thing to do. She told us that she saw the Queen of England during her holiday in UK. Like fun she did! My little sister is full of fun. Going to the movies tonight would be so much fun!

She's so talented at playing piano she could beat the Mozart himself. Everyone at my school were playing a part in saving our school from abolishment. He is playing with his best mate's wife. Her character was the villain in the play. They were playing jokes during their lunchbrake. The children spend the whole afternoon at play. A shy smile played on her lips when I praised her.

CALL I tried to call her yesterday but she didn't answer. I was calling his name but he couldn't hear because all of that noise. My friend's dog is called Dusty because he used to love rolling in the gritty dirt when he was a puppy. Every time I'm about to start a test, my stomach decides to imitate whale's mating call. This is the last call for passengers travelling on Finnair flight to Paris. I told my mom to pick up the phone and take the call. My friend knows a lot of people but only few that he'd call really close friends. She called me over to watch movies and enjoy good food. My boss called a meeting to find the solution to company's problems. I am so happy to be able to call this place my own.

MEAN What do you mean when you say you don't like dogs? I think she is a really mean person. What is the meaning of all this? I'm sorry I lied to you, I didn't mean to offend you. This cake wasn't meant to be eaten today, I was saving it for tomorrow's birthday party. I believe she means no harm when she says that you look tired today. This doesn't look much but it means a lot to me. These toilets are meant for custimers only. I have been meaning to tell you this the whole day. I didn't mean to let her see the letter.

LOOK Your sister is looking really good this morning. Look at the moon, isn't it beautiful! He looks like he has seen a ghost. Did you get a look at my new Mercedes-Benz? I am going to be late, I'm still looking for my wallet. That shirt looks really nice on you! My garden is so pleasently sunny because it looks south. Look where you are walking! I am looking to graduate this autumn. My sister looks just like my mom.

USE You have to dumb him, he is just using you and your money! I am used to do this because I do this everyday. This shirt has been used so can you bring me a clean one? I know you still use drugs. Didn't that woman use to play in the harry Potter movies? I don't know how to use this machine. I am not used to having a dog in the house. We made use for your house while you were on abroad. This computer is in constant use. This dress is now ready for use, and you better use it well.

I think we should share the preparation for the event between us. My mom and dad share an interest in hiking. The joke was so funny that I think you should share it with the rest of us too. You don't have to pay all this, we'll share the cost between us. Me an my sister own a 30% share of our fathers house. He wished she would share her worries with him.

STAY We had such a good time during our stay. Nothing could make me more happier than that you'd stay with me. I think staying here is not that good idea. I enjoyed my stay in Paris so much! You need to stay away from him! Just stay behind me and you'll be safe. She is very shy and mostly stays at home. Two friend of mine divorced, but they stayed frineds. It's so cold outside it's better stay inside. We should rather stay together, it's dangerous here.

STAND I can't stand my own brother, he is so annoying! You should stood up when you are talking, so everyone could hear you better. I'll stand behind you, no matter what happens. I had to stood on my tiptoe to reach the lamp. I wonder how that building is still standing after the earthquake. Their company stands against factories that contributes child labor. I was so scared I couldn't move, so I just stood still. At the party yesterday, he just stood silently in the corner. Don't you just stand there like an idiot! Do something. My leg was hurting so much I wasn't able to stand.

HIGH When you describe people, you have to use the word tall, not high or long. That bird is flying very high, don't you think? There is very high skyscrapers in Dubai. I think he was high on heroin when I saw him. This cheese seems to be rather rather high, I thinks it's best to throw it away. I achieved higher level in the game. There are lots of highs and lows in this school. Are you going to high school after you finish grammar school? I love your high heels, they look so good on you! You'll have to jump rather high if your going to get over that fence.

RUN I go running every morning, it makes me feel so perky. Have you heard about the dangerous prisoner who escaped the prison and is on the run in Mexico? He get caught for running guns and drugs illegally. I had a run of bad luck in this matter. The movie begin its run next month. In the normal run of things he hardly do exercises at all. My sister made four runs in yesterdys baseball match. There has been a run on ice cream because summer is coming. Usain Bolt is the fastest runner in the world. The cheetah runs faster than any other mammal.

GIVE I gave a new toy to my dog. This neckless was given to me two years ago when i turned eighteen. What name are you going to give to your baby? I can give you some money if you're not able to pay your bills yourself. I gave my everything to make this work. I need you to give your best shot, it's the only way we can make this happen. They'll give you five years in jail if you get caught. She gave me a smile, and that made me very happy. You can't know if you don't try, so give it a go! My patience gave out and I yelled at her.

FEEL I feel you, the same happened to me two weeks ago. Can you feel the magic in the air? My feelings for you are honest. I'm feeling rather sad at the moment. I feel like going for a walk. I didn't feel anything when he stabbed me, I was already in shock. Just feel how my hands are shaking! He looked so handsome, I felt like kissing him. I have never felt so happy as I feel now. How are you feeling about her?

LET Let's go have some fun, shall we! She'll never let you do that. The thing between you and her will never work, you need to let go of her! Let them come- there's nothing they can do. Please, let me show you how this works. Let me know what you did yesterday. Let me have a look at your homeworks. Let your dog go, can't you see his enjoying running free. She has let her flat to an old lady. Don't you dare let go of my hand!

DRIVE She's driving me crazy. You should let me drive you home, you're too drunk. My house is only a short drive away. I got my license today, do you want to come for a drive? Do you want to see how my dog drives the sheep into the corral? Driving a car is much easier than I thought. It's much harder to get a driving license in these days. My mother is a really bad driver. There was a bus parked on the drive. I'm taking drivin lessons once a week.

FALL Are you going to visit your grandmother next fall? She's falling in love with me. I fell down when I was running and I broke my leg. A little girl died when she fell down from the cliff. The temperature may fall below zero next day. I was so exhausted yesterday I just fell into bed immediately when I get home. The beggar fell to his knees and started to pray. She falls asleep like a baby when I sing to her. My mother fell ill when her son left. My birthday will fall on a Monday this year.

MOVE I thought I saw somebody moving there just now. You'll have to make the next move, she ain't going to do that. Could you please move your car? One false move could lead to disaster. She's moving really fast. She learned all the chess moves so easily. It's so cold here I can't move my toes. We moved in this house last year. The film was so sad it moved me to tears. She moves with very suspicious guy.

CLEAN Your T-shirt looks very clean. The air in Finland is so clear I can feel how my lungs want more and more of it. My mom always makes sure that our hands are clean when we sit on the table. My sister broke her finger, but the doctor said it is a clean break, so it'll heal easily. I'm going to clean the kitchen next morning, it is so dirty. My cousin works as a cleaner in a big company. I hope these winestains will clean off my dress. The bullet went clean through his knee. I'm tired of cleaning your mess everyday. Your boots desperately need cleaning.

CROSS You need to cross this road to get to the other side. People use to cross their hands when they pray. The cross is the symbol of Christianity. My dog is a cross between a pug and a bulldog. It makes me really cross when I see people hurting their dogs. When I sit down, I usually cross my legs. She was rather cross at him when she found out he was telling lies. I have put a cross on the map where I think the treasure is. The criminal tried to cross the border. We crossed from Finland to Sweden to visit Ikea.

House I am moving house. Don't you dare to wake the whole house. At the moment I work in house. (Lower/Upper) House votes tomorrow on the new law. I got a full house! We got to play to a full house. The House of Windsor is going to visit Finland today! I really brought the house down! When I become the new manager, I'll surely clean house. Are you going to eat me out of house and home?

Next beer is on the house. People (who live) in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Hey, put/set your own house in order This is safe as houses So, are you going to set up house in Oulu?

Fish Is this a tropical/marine/freshwater fish? Whoa, this is a good place to fish. I see enormous shoals of fish! Hard, eh? It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Our principal is a big fish in a small pond. I can't believe you're such a cold fish. James was really a nice guy. Sheila, however, was a different kettle of fi sh. No wonder why he behaved agressively. Weekends he drinks like a fish. I must admit I was a fish out of water. I'm not going to do that, I have bigger fish to try. He's an odd fish. I think it'd be a bit complicated to employ him, he's neither fish nor fow l. Hey, don't get depressed, there are plenty more fish in the sea.

Tar Don't spoil the ship for a ha'pennyworth of tar. He's tarred with the same brush as his bother. Do you really prefer coal tar soap to birch soap? Even low-tar cigarettes are very dangerous. Don't recently tarred roads smell good? Hey, don't stare at him, he's just an old Jack Tar. Bill 'Full House' Jenkins was tarred and weathered more than once.

Ship I am the boss on board ship. It's the cheapest way to ship these computers by ship. There's a huge airship coming to Oulu today. Hey, we can manage these hard times, don't jump ship. Sir, three of our men just jumped ship. -Did you hear about those bankers quitting their jobs? - Yeah, they're like rats deserting a sinking ship. The new boss sure has run a tight ship before. Program's ready to ship in late 2016. Mayday, mayday, this boat's shipping. This is the last warning, shape up or ship out! They'll just ship the children off to summercamp and leave, how handy is that?

Apple Women don't usually have Adam's apple. These are cooking apples, not eating apples. Crab apples make a great jelly. We'll have candy apples for dessert. I'm going to Big Apple next weekend. The apple never falls far from the tree. He's the apple of his mother's eye. -Which do you like more, popcorn or chocolate? - They're both great, but you can't compare apples and oranges. Using syrup with pancakes is as American as apple pie. That jerk really is a rotten apple.

Money -I have to borrow money somewhere. -Why don't you just earn your money yourself? Hey, be careful with that – it cost a lot of money! Have you counted the money? I made my money back in the sixties. I really am in the money. Uncle Scrooge is probably the richest comic character ever. He's rolling in money. If you want the best money can buy, money shall be no object. I am not stingy, I'm just careful with money. Who couldn't resist easy money? A fool and his money are soon parted. For my money, he's a great author. Did you get your money's worth? I gave him a good run for their money. I have no money to burn, it doesn't grow on trees.

Money Banking is a license to print money, but it's not good money. I made money hand over fist. I can't do that homework for money nor love. Marrying money is money for old rope. World is unfair, workers have no power, it's the money that talks. If you want me to believe you, put your money where your mouth is. I can't understand what's government doing in Talvivaara, they're throwing good money after bad. Domestic violence is a problem that needs deep studying and discussion, just throwing money at the problem doesn't help the victims.

Table I have booked a table for two. Set the table, will you. I'm coming, I'll just clear the table first. The table of contents is at the front of the book. Did you remember to bring your own periodic table to the test John drank him under the table yesterday. If you want us to trust you, you should lay your cards on the table. Trump turned the tables as he entered the presidential run. He put new proposal on the table. I proposed that we'd table the idea until next meeting.

Hat He has a cool straw hat. I can't work both as a cook and a head in the camp, I can't wear that many hats. MP3 is an old hat nowadays. Hey, you can't except me to do that exam at the drop of a hat, I haven't had time to prepare myself for it. He went hat in the hand to his father. Ha, if he does that, I'll eat my hat. I tip my hat to you. Be sure to keep your criminal background under your hat, or you won't land that job. You can't be serious! Did they really pick the headmaster out of a hat? Just pass the hat round there, they surely like old cats. The inventor of telephone really pulled a rabbit out of the hat! Yesterday, three new candidates threw their hats into the ring.

Bat Bat that wasp, it's irritating. She's batting her eyes like having them full of dirt. He sold all boats? He's really batting a thousand! I'm going to bat for my grandma. We've been batting this idea around for three months, couldn't we now decide if it's good or not? He didn't bat an eye when I told him about his brothers imprisonment. He's still allowed to drive a car? Come on, he's blind as a bat! I saw a vampire bat yesterday. We have do it right off the bat! He was driving like a bat out of hell. Wow, I really respect you for doing that big work off your own bat.

Game I like ball games, like football and baseball. When are the next Olympic Games? Kids are playing a game of cops and robbers. She's going to sack everybody? So that's her game! Yeah, he really beat her in her own game. I am game for anything. Now your game is up! -Did you hear about his new business? -Yeah. I think it's a mug's game For me this project is just a game. I think we're out of the game. A goal! We might actually be back in the game!

Game Hey, you can't do that! It's not playing the game! He's really good at talking a good game. You do that? Well, two can play that game. How come you do that? What's your game? Don't try to play silly games with me, just tell me why you did it. He doesn't appreciate the rules of the game: always trying to steal somebody's money. -Do you know any good places in here? -Well, there's just a puny pub behind the corner but it's the only game in town.

Game Success in competitive games require hard work and dedication. Communication is essential in team games. Would you care for a game of cards? We have to draw the last game, to proceed. The first play-off game will be played to day. It's a home game for Kärpät and against Tappara. Na'Vi have to raise their game to have any chance in the tournament. My cousin will take part in the next Olympic games. The game of politics is not for me. Strategizing is all part of the game. Turned out that he was just playing a stupid game with me. They were doing fine, but managed to throw the game.

Shame Shame, you're so cute. You're going to shame us all. He was able to shame me into giving him money. My face burned with shame. To my shame I took the money from the wallet before returning it. It is a crying shame that you aren't allowed to come. There's no shame in wanting to be successful. I'm going to name and shame them! His productivity puts us all to shame. How could you do something like that, shame on you!

Book The game seven is already booked up. I'm going to book into a hotel. Would you prefer a hardback or a paperback book? Go over the books again, there's a mistake somewhere. They must have cooked the books! They'll open a book on who'll win the race. I'm afraid I'm not in her good books at the moment. Hey, use some imagination! I doubt the best way to do that is by the book. The police have closed the book on the case, so it remains a closed book. Don't judge a book by its cover. In my book that isn't fair. He is an open book. She's able to read people like books. Anyone wise would take a leaf from his book. Imprison him and throw the book at him! He's in Microsoft's books? Well, that doesn't suit our books.

Drive I drive a car. I ride a motorcycle. Could you drive me to the station? Remember to take care not to drive yourself too hard. It drove me to depression. -Did you really get I- from English in matriculation examination?! -Yeah, it's enough to drive anyone to drink Hooray, we drove the enemy back! I've never done woodworks, I can't even drive a nail into a piece of wood. Money is the main factor driving help to that oil country. It would maybe be wise to drive a tunnel under this stream. You drive a hard bargain! I'll drive off tomorrow. Don't stop—drive on! The wind drove the balloon away.

Run Run, Forrest, run! He came running to meet you. Hey, don’t try to run my life for me. They run one of the world's most successful businesses. The university runs summer courses for anyone willing to pay for them. I'm too poor to run a car at the moment. Stirling engine can run on any fuel.

FREEDOM She enjoyed the freedom she had moving away from h ome. He realized that marriage would be giving up his freed om. There is a freedom of religion among every Finnish citizen. In the parliament, every representative has freedom of speech. Surrendering would cost him his freedom. The women have won many freedoms for themselves. The bad economical situation doesn't allow freedom of choice for the unemployed.

ANSWER I just answered your question. I am expecting your answer by 8 o'clock this evening. She received the answer to a question she had been thinking about for long. The answer to my letter came yesterday. In answer to your ponderings, I will tell you everything tomorrow morning. I can't give you an instant answer yet. Even the scientists haven't figured out the answer to this dilemma. Your parents probably will provide the answers to all of your problems. This exam requires only written answers. You can guess the answer if needed. I tried to answer honestly, but something kept me from letting the cat out of the bag.

VIEW What a wonderful view! My view on this situation is that we should keep our noses out of it. Her rosy view of her future is so unrealistic. The teachers at our school have clear views on the studies. His world view revolves around himself. In the doctor's point of view, he should be recovering from the illness in no time. We had a poor view of the stage at the opera. The large pillar was blocking my view of the beautiful scene. The picture showed only the front view of the house. I just want to enjoy the view, but you are making it impossible with your presence. The view from his apartment is outstanding.

DEMAND I demand you to stop what you're doing. She demanded for a larger wage. Their demands don't meet. In my opinion, loans should be available on demand. Demand for iPhones has increased. Android cell phones are still in demand. Demands are common among consumers. The demands of the job were impossible to reach. She demanded a large sum of money from her father.

TARGET He shot a bull's eye on the target. We are shopping at Target. He was so unfortunate to be the target of the crime. She is so ambitious. She has always set very high targets for herself. Our main target is to work well as a team. I need a target to aim for, otherwise I am not motivated. The sales were 10% above target last year. This shirt model is targeted mainly at seniors.

ATTEMPT She didn't fall off the roof by accident. It was a suici de attempt. She succeeded in her attempt to win the dance c ompetition. I have made no attempt to get back together with him. What he said was a weak attempt to win her heart. The puppy made a faint attempt at a bark.

FEED She fed them porridge every morning. Have they been feeding you well? You should help us feed the homeless. You shouldn't think of her as just another mouth to feed. The media feeds everyone's imagination with good and bad information. This data is fed directly into the computer. The birds feed mainly on worms and ants.

PROPOSAL The famous photographer captured the beautiful proposal of marriage. He proposed to her under the stars. They made a proposal on lowering the taxes. We discussed about proposals concerning the economical situation in the EU. His speech was a proposal for lowering the use of water.

ISSUE Did the latest issue of Vogue arrive yet? My parents are having issues with their jobs. Do you have an issue with my way of pronouncing? The newly issued book was terrible. Banks issue credit cards for their customers. This is an issue concerning your school. She spoke on the issue of drunk-driving. Can you even consider on solving this issue? We need to focus on this issue and not procrastinate.

PUBLIC She's never seen in public anymore. I'm a nervous wreck every time I perform in public! The government told the public about the new system. Books written by J.K Rowling are very popular in the midst of the reading public. He is an active member of the public. The new cafeteria is open to the public on Thursday. You shouldn't do that in public. It is very embarrassing. Jack and Mary have now informed their engagement to a wider public.

STUDY I can't come to the party tonight, I have to study for tomorrow's exam. He lectures in business studies. She continued her studies when she came back from Australia. The present studies reveal a shocking amount of water we use daily. I'm currently working on a study of air pollution. The study took place in the University of Oulu. In a recent study, 90% of the population use electronic devices at least 2 hours per day. The study identified three types of meat-eating animals. The research was made by a very successful study group from the U.S.

SHARE Sharing is caring. My twin and I share everything we own. I want my fair share of the deal. Otherwise I'll rat on you. You should receive a large share from the company's profits. You've done most of the work. I inherited a 40% share of our childhood home. We shared the money equally between the four of us. I'm willing to share the rest of my life with you. Sharing happens most commonly among siblings. I'm going to do my share of work and then go home.

ARGUMENT My parents were having an aggressive argument when I came home. Arguments happen usually between couples. I had a big argument with my sister last night. He is someone you don't want to have an argument with. The politician's argument was very convincing and brought a whole new side to the subject. I supported their arguments. I would like to bring out some arguments concerning the recycling in Finland. He has a skill to see both sides of an argument.

ADDITION Congratulations on the latest addition to your family! In mathematics we learn addition, subtraction, dividing and multiplication. In addition, I would like to inform you that we are getting a new student to our class. I have purchased several additions to my art collection, feel free to check them out. You are a very welcome addition to our group! We are a little short-handed at the moment. This china cup is a valuable addition to the rest of my china family, so be very careful with it.

PATIENT I've been very patient with you, but now I'm getting a little impatient. She was extremely patient about it all. My nerves wouldn't have kept calm. Doctors probably get dozens of patients a day, which must be exhausting. I would like you to meet Sara. She is a cancer patient at our hospital. I'm not ready with my homework yet. Be patient!

COVER It's raining! I need something to cover my hair from the rain. The school covered all the expenses of the class trip. The roads were all covered in snow. Have you heard my cover to Eminem's song? I tried to cover my embarrassment, but I knew I was blushing. The parents tucked their child under the warm covers. The cover girl of this week's Vogue is Gigi Hadid, the very famous model. Don't judge a book by its cover. I always read the back cover of a book first. Oops! I just spilled my coffee on the sofa cover.

CONTACT Remind me to contact the principal tomorrow concerning my absences. My contact lenses irritate my eyes. Maybe I should stick to glasses. Oil shouldn't be in contact with water. His contact list was full of famous actors and actresses. She made a bunch of useful contacts at the meetings in California. I hate talking to people online. I need a good old face-to-face contact with them. They're still in close contact with each other even though they just went through a divorce. He hoped to maintain contact with her during the summer. I can be contacted via telephone or e-mail. Don't hesitate to contact me day or night!

IDEA The idea of moving and leaving everything behind was threatening. I'm open to all ideas, so bring them on! She keeps on stealing my ideas and taking all the credit. I've been toying the idea of moving to California and becoming an actress. Do you have any ideas for a present to George? I haven't got the faintest idea of what is going on with her. He was obsessed with the idea of a new Porsche.

PART Lucy played a big part in the show. The pizza was sliced into eight parts. The best part of a school day is lunch time. He was very unsuccessful in the early part of his career. I need to find new parts for my computer to make it work again. Several parts of his body were injured in the accident. Part of me wants to forget him but a part of me doesn't. They took little part in the activities.

FRIEND He is my best friend. I thought that he is a friend of yours. You can't win any friends if you don't change your attitude. Can you describe your circle of friends? In my opinion, it's easy to make friends. She turned out to be only fair-weather friend. I found a lifelong friend. I saw my childhood friend yesterday. For all that we stayed friends. I have many friends in high places introducing their opinions.

DOG He threatens to do something very bad to me, but a barking dog never bites. Can you loan your umbrella? It's raining cats and dogs! I'm going to take my dog for a walk. A dog is sniffing me. The dog pricked up its ears when it noticed me. I work as a dog breeder. Don't worry. Everything's going to be okay. Every dog has its day. You looks as sick as a dog. You have to stay in your bed today. I don't want to live a dog's life anymore. It's been a dog's age since I saw you!

SUN I love to soak up the sun. I was so tired that I went to bed with the sun. He told me about everything under the sun. You have to use sunscreen that you don't catch the sun anymore. The sun warmed her feet. When the sun goes down, its going to be cold. The rays of the sun warm me. It is so warm in the sun. The sun climbed higher in the sky. Sometimes I want to travel to the sun belt.

HEART You have a heart of gold. Lately I have been sick at heart. I wish with all my heart that you'll be better. I want to hear something different. You have to put more heart into it! You broke my heart. In my heart, I knew you was right. At heart I am a little girl. I have mathematic exam tomorrow so I have to learn math by heart. I tried to tell my aching heart that I didn't love him. She told him with a heavy heart that she had lied.

TABLE The King often sits at the head of the table. My dog always sleeps under the table. He put his cards on the table and said that he don't want to se her anymore. I got a job at a restaurant waiting at table. I have booked a table in restaurant for 6 p.m. It's your turn clear the table. A coffee table book of his life will be published tomorrow. Tonight I will drink you under the table. We have to get our family around the table and make this end. They were sitting round the kitchen table.

CLOUD It feels that it's coming up a cloud. When I heard it I was on cloud nine. For me, the only cloud on the horizon is the mathematics exam in May. He is always in the clouds because his thoughts is so unrealistic. You forgot to register for camp, but don't worry because every dark cloud has a silver lining - you'll have more time to your friends. Dark clouds tell that it's getting ready to rain. The clouds broke, and the sun came out. Look at that sky! It's coming up a cloud. Get your head out of the clouds! It's your turn to answer. If you really think that Justin Bieber loves you, you are living in cloud-cuckoo land.

CAT My little brother and sister always fight like cat and dog. My friend loves play cat and mouse with the teacher. A cat nap after lunch makes you feel better. My cat is very playful.

Do you have my home address? The patient was so sick that the doctor had to make a home visit. It is a common assumption that in war, only the soldiers do the hard work. But it isn't easy on the home front either. It is truly saddening that there really are people that are homeless. Patrick Kane’s hometown is Buffalo although he plays for the Chicago Blackhawks.

War The Cuban Crisis took America and the Soviet union to the brink of war. At the outbreak of World War II Germany commenced their operation to conquer Poland. The shortage of food in the war years led to many people dying from hunger. My great grandfather fought in the The Winter War. People need to show more respect to the brave Veterans of War who fought for our country. The US declared war on Japan in the year of 1941. The people of New Zealand don't know much about the Horrors of War. Can the war against poverty be won? The city of Berlin was divided in half after The World War II Russia is currently at war against the Islamic State

News Donald J. Trump has been on the news lately. Our school, Kiimingin Lukio was mentioned in the news. Patrik Laine finished his last driving lesson yesterday and somehow it made the news. The good news is that weekend is only a few days away. Have you heard the latest news about the situation in the middle east? Great news!

Detail I don't want to go into any more detail. The receipt shows details of the item purchased. Enter your details in the form below. The computer records the details of everyone entering the country. I haven't looked at the proposal in detail yet. I'll give you a call later and fill you in on the details. I only know the essential details of his plans. Let's examine this idea in greater detail. I don't need to know the precise details of your night out. … "Oh, spare me the details."

Context His decision can only be understood in context. Her reply was taken out of context. This needs to be set in the context of … Present examples of language in use in an appropriate context. It is natural to find conflict in the work environment, or any other human context. These actions only have meaning within certain specific context s. A work which transcends its immediate historical context and speaks to later generations. Institutions provide a context in which individuals can take on different roles. Similar problems have arisen in other contexts. … "You've got to see it in a wider context."

Request I've put in a request for a room with a view of the sea. The play was written by Agatha Christie at the request of Queen Mary. The writer's name was withheld by request. We will arrange accommodation on request. A detailed list of our publications is available on request. The film is being shown again by popular request. We have received a large number of requests. We have requested some information from the company. We have had repeated requests for a pedestrian crossing near the school. She had an unreasonable request for me.

Revenue The firm's expected annual revenue. Tax fraud costs the country millions in lost revenue. The main sources of public revenue. These television companies rely on advertising revenue for their funds. The central government collects the tax revenue on behalf of local authorities. A drop in revenue. Revenues from the sale of oil. Tourism is the island's main source of revenue. The project will not generate any revenue. Their government's revenues come mainly from direct taxes.

Review The matter is still under review. The book received mixed reviews. I'm doing a review for the local paper. His review appeared in yesterday's paper. Did you see the review in 'The Times'? The first chapter presents a critical review of... The rent is due for review. We are currently reviewing the situation. This case should be reviewed in the light of new evidence. The film has been favourably reviewed in a number of papers.

Command Who is in command? He was put in command of the navy. Under the direct command of... He had command of 3,000 soldiers. I am at your command. He was in total command of the situation. An army officer is giving commands at his men. NATO's integrated military command. She has lost command of her senses. He has an excellent command of French.

Bed She crawled into bed exhausted. I like to be in bed before 11 o'clock. I really need to make my bed before any guests arrive. Are you out of bed yet? I need to be awake early tomorrow, I'm going to bed. I fell out the side of my bed in my sleep last night. I have a king-size bed. She had a hard time tumbling into bed after a night out. He lay in bed all day. This bed is really comfortable.

Attention Can I have your attention, please? I felt my attention wandering during the lecture. A matter requiring urgent attention. Her primary aim was to avoid the attentions of the newspapers. He is a designer known for his attention to detail. He was convicted of driving without due care and attention. The child needs constant attention. He devoted all his attention to his mother. A patient in the need of attention. They listened with full attention.

Reflex Alcohol can slow your reflexes. Almost by reflex, he helped himself to a drink. The doctor tested her reflexes. The training is designed to sharpen the fighter's reflexes. The rapid movement of an object towards the eye triggers the blink reflex. His reflexes are fast as lightning.

Water There was water dripping from a hole in the ceiling. These fish will quickly die in salt water. The surface water made the road treacherous for drivers. Avoid drinking the tap water when you first arrive in the country. The flood water had caused tremendous damage. Many goods were transported by water in the last century. The swan landed gracefully on the water. The boat cut effortlessly through the water. They climbed a tree to escape the rising water. Brown water gushed out of the rusty old tap.

Upgrade We are constantly upgrading our software to m eet customers' needs. All machines can be upgraded with new components. I am currently upgrading to the new 2.1 version of the software. We have significantly upgraded our tools over time. The software upgrade only had minor bug fixes. Windows 10 is a huge upgrade from Windows 8.

Image The company needs to create a new image for itself. He's the spitting image of his father. Heat images show where most of the activity in the brain is. The industry is trying to shed its negative image. The visual image is steadily replacing the written word. In real life she looks nothing like her media image. The pixel information used to show a digital image. I like to build up images of the characters and setting before I start to write. Powerful and disturbing images of the war. She was aiming for a wholesome, girl-next-door image.

Road We took the wrong road and had to turn back. The road twists and turns up the hillside. Road humps have been laid down to limit the speed of cars along the road. We'll be able to go faster once we're out on the open road. A bumpy road through the forest. I pulled off the road for a rest. The road crosses the river further up the valley. The track joins the main road just south of the village. Take the next road on the right. Let's leave when the roads are clear.

Trip We went on a day trip to the seaside. My last trip abroad was two years ago. The trip home took us five hours! Enjoy your trip! He's just back from a trip to New York. A school trip to the Science Museum. He makes frequent trips to Australia. She's away on a business trip. It's only a five-minute trip by taxi. They saved for years for their trip of a lifetime to Hawaii.

View The debate brings together experts with conflicting views. At the meeting, we hope people will exchange views freely. The meeting gave everyone the chance to air their views. In my view it was a waste of time. We had a poor view of the stage from where we were sitting. The pillar prevented me getting a clear view of the action. This room has a spectacular view across the bay. This is a great place to unwind and enjoy the view. Tensions within the band remained hidden from public view. My mother takes a pretty dim view of my cooking skills.

Instinct His first instinct was to run away from danger. He plays well but lacks that killer instinct that wins matches. Why don't you just follow your natural instincts? Her instinct told her that she was being followed. Her instincts took over and she dived on the escaping thief. He's got an instinct for survival in a tough job. I acted purely on instinct. In negotiating you have to develop an instinct for when to be tough and when to make a deal. I've trusted my instincts in the past and they've usually been right. Babies know by instinct who their mother is.

Subject Can we talk about a more cheerful subject? Don't change the subject. We discussed a wide range of subjects. What subjects are you taking at A level? She was disappointed to fail in two of her four subjects. Let's drop the subject since we don't seem to be able to agree. The subject of gambling has come up several times recently. I wish he'd stick to the subject rather than telling us his boring stories. His illness left him subject to asthmatic attacks. Work is a taboo subject when we go out for dinner.

Back He's off work with a bad back. He yawned and stretched his back as he got out of bed. A seat with good back support. The cat arched its back and hissed at the dog. They tied his hands behind his back. We could only get seats at the back. Two passengers sat in the back of the car. I've got pain in my lower back. They sat back to back so they couldn't see each others' works. She thinks that people talk about her behind her back.

Tax Taxes look set to rise again. You have to fill in your tax return by tomorrow. The tax year begins in April. Her salary puts her highest in the tax band. His tax affairs are under investigation by the police. Her accountant was good at exploiting tax loopholes. He is living as a tax exile in Monaco. Profits after tax were £262,000. An increase in the basic rate of tax. Introducing a 60% tax on alcohol.

Idea The basic idea is that we all meet up in London. Most employees welcome the idea of a ban on smoking. An idea began to form in his mind. She had the idea of advertising on the Internet. I don't know what to do, but I'm open to ideas. He gave me a rough idea of what was wanted. He's obsessed with the idea of getting a motorbike. Swimming in a icy river is not my idea of fun. Do you have any ideas for a present for her? Brainstorming is a good way of generating ideas.

PHONE The phone suddenly shut down in the middle of our conversation. Can I use your phone? If the phone rings, don't answer it. She is using her phone right now. There is a public payphoneat the reception. He slammed the phone down in ground. I think my phone is broken. We spoke over the phone almost three hours. She waits by the phone almost all day but it doesn't ring.

BAG Did you forget your bag? She took her bag and ran out of the door. Eggs got broken in my bag! We dropped our bags of off at the hotel and went straight to eat food. He was walking with his friends swinging his school bag. His bag was full of vague stuff. There was no lift so I had to go up the stairs with my heavy bags. The camera got broken in my bag.

BOOK His latest book will appear in October. Do you want to go in library and borrow a book there? There's nothing like drinking hot cocoa and reading books. How many books do you have? Books by J.K. Rowling are the best. She looked up from her book and smiled brightly.

THANK She smiled her thanks as the car drove off. He didn't even say thank you. I give her a small gift in thanks for her doings. I would like to thank you. He got a special thank you from my father. You haven't thanked your mother yet, don't forget it. Thank you is a small but very significant word. He gave thanks to God for winning in lottery.

SHOW She finally got her own TV show. I will show you how it should go. They are holding a big riding show at the evening. They made a great welcoming show for us. She cried a lot but it is all show. The works are on show until May. The dog was the real star of the show.

BALL The kids love to kick a ball against my wall. Basket ball is very cool sport. The goalkeeper missed the ball in the game. Her ball control was incredible. The sun was a fiery ball, low on the hills. He screwed the letter up into a tight ball. The ball hit the window and broke it. The ball flew over the fence and went in the woods.

KISS She returned his kiss with passion. He greeted her with a kiss. You have to kiss me at goodbye. He give his daughter a huge goodnight kiss. We were greeted with hugs and kisses. His kiss deepened and became hungrier.

RUN Let's go run before dinner. He took the stairs at a run. My sister escaped by running. Our team is on 90 runs. They play began its run last September. Their team have finally ended their run of defeats. When she saw me she broke into run.

KEY It is the key to success. He turned the key in the lock. They heard a key turned in the back door lock. Language is the key to understanding people around you. You need a key to open the warehouse. Somebody must have used a key to get in here. You have to close the window with a key.

LOVE I just can't stop loving you. He fell in love with one of his students. I did it for love. The love between parent and a child is the most beautiful thing in the world. She had a great love of painting. I was madly in love with him. They publicly share their love to each other.

LIST Did you put the bread on a shopping list? Names of last members are not in the guest list. Go shopping is top of my list of priorities today. The play have an impressive cast list. Safety is high on our list of priorities. We are waiting the list for memberships of the football club.

FALL She took a bad fall out while cycling. The fall is the most beautiful season in year. Luckily the good luck broke his falling. She broke her arm in a fall from a horse. The doctor says that she has had a very nasty fall. The chances to survive a fall under the train are almost nil.

MUSIC Listening to the music is the best way to calm down. Could you turn that music down? Can you put volume of music up? She is really into pop music. Can you read music? The soft background music made him fell sleepy. She could hear music on downstairs flat.

VIEW His view on the world revolves a battle between a rich and poor. I took the view that an exception should be made in this case. In my view it was the waste of time. Experts hold greatly differing views on this subjects. It is a good to notice different views on the way of life. A large truck suddenly came into view. There was nobody in view.

STORY It is the story of my life. No one would believe such a tall story. The epic story of family's escape from war is quite epic. He tell me his life story. My parents read me a story in the bedtime when I was a little. The house have three different stories. His life was a sorry story about betrayal and rejection.

SKY The fireworks lit up the sky. Only the sky is limit. He told me about everything between the sky and the sea. The rain stopped and the skies cleared. The eagle was totally dark against the early morning sky. Black clouds spread across the sky. A strange object dropped out the sky.

FLOWER What lovely flowers! The flowers are the most beautiful thing in world. It was June and the roses were in flower. He gave me flowers. The flowers were still tightly closed. The forest floor was a carpet of wild flowers.

TABLE He left his keys on the table. We booked a table in our favourite restaurant. She put the vase on the table. The pencil rolled under the table. She leaned across the table towards him. They were all five of them sitting round the kitchen table.

Home Home sweet home I left my home to meet my friends I like staying at home Home is the best place to relax I have a holiday home in ruka Can we go home I am tired Home has never looked nicer than this Clean your home its filthy I arrived at home late They had to abandon their home

Cat I have a pet cat My cat is lazy The cat had to be put down Can we play cat and mouse My cat was alone all day The cat curled up I am afraid of big cats The cat meowed for hours Cats love to play The neighbour’s cat and dog fought

SING I love singing. You are a terrible singer. Birds sang awfully in trees. Singing is not just a hobby, it's a lifestyle. Do you like singing about love? Why do you sing just bad songs? She can't sing very well. Yesterday me and my sister sang together.

HEAR Can you hear me? I've heard this story before. She's getting old so she can't hear well anymore. I'm sorry, I heard about you're grandfather. I told him what he wanted to heard. I was surprised to hear that!

HAPPY/HAPPINESS I'm happy for you. Money won't make you happy. You are my happiness. Seeing you happy, makes me happy too. You can't buy happiness. You make me happy. Seeing my mom happy is the best thing ever.

LOVE I love you. It was love at the first sight. I'm in love with him. Do you love me? Loving someone is not that simple. Love hurts. He fell in love with her. You can't love someone you hate.

KISS Always kiss me goodnight. He gently kissed her in the forhead. She returned his kiss with passion. That was a quick kiss. I hate kissing. His kisses were more sisterly than loving. I love it when you kiss me long. That was a warm and loving kiss.

HOT There's too hot, I can't do anything. You look really hot. This is extremely hot summer. This winter was hotter than last winter. Don't burn you're tongue, that food is way too hot. This room is uncomfortably hot. The sun will become so hot that it explodes.

COLD Don't be such a cold hearted bitch. It's freezing cold in Siberia. You must use ice so you can keep your drink cold. Serve this hot or cold. I hate cold weather. Finland is very cold country. In Finland there's colder in summer than in winter.

BEAUTIFUL He thinks that she's very beautiful. Iceland is a beautiful country. I like beautiful flowers. That butterfly is breathtakingly beautiful. She sings beautifully. My wedding ring is more beautiful than yours. I did all I could to make this home beautiful. You're beautiful just the way you are.

HOPE I hope that she will be okay. Parents usually put high hopes for their children. Your hopes are not realistic. I'm full of hope. My hope faded away. She felt weak and hopeless. Youngerster are full of hope. There's a little hope that she's allright. He told me all his dreams and hopes.

CRUSH He was my highschool crush. I have a big crush on you. Her leg crushed badly in the accident. Crush the candies finely before putting them to the mixture. He was crushed against the tree. Once I was crushed under the car. She was crushed between two rocks.

AMAZING I found out that she's an amazing writer. That dress looks amazing on you. That music you play sounds amazingly relaxing. This still fits on me! -That's amazing! Mother giving a birth is truly amazing. I saw the most amazing girl yesterday.

MAGIC In Donald Duck Magica De Spell practises black magic. I don't believe in magic. The magic slowly starts to work and the frog will turn to a prince. Your magic doesn't work here. Do your magic and make it work again!

SKY We slept under the open sky. The sky is really sunny today. The fireworks lit up the sky. The rain stopped and the skies cleared. We all live under the same sky. Only sky is the limit.

FLY I believe I can fly. The next flight leaves in 30 minutes. Those butterflies fly beautifully. Have you ever flown? Are you afraid of flying? Flying is amazing. Time flies.

TIME The world exists in time and space. This time I will succes. When I'm with you time flies. Time heals all the scars. I wish I could travel trough the time. Look at the time! Do you have time to talk with me?

Like I like you! Do you like the fact that men die at younger age than women? There´s no one like you in the whole planet. He is a very likeable person. Are you crazy?! It´s like –100 degrees outside! I like the way you´re spoiling me. I´m moving to Antarctica, whether you like it or not! James Bond is a man who is universally liked and admired. I really hope that you´ll get to like my home town. Life´s like a box of chocolates – you never know what you´re going to get I don´t like your accent to be honest. Sorry! Visiting at a dentist is like being tortured but your dentist is actually "drilling gold" like one of my teachers would describe it.

House This must be the biggest house I´ve ever seen! They just got on like a house on fire despite being neighbours. The doctor is able to make house calls if needed. Have you heard about this new TV drama House? (okay sorry this was a bad one...) The house stands a short distance from the stadium, what else can you ask for? I´m really happy to be a house husband while my wife goes out to work. Hey, you seem like a potential house buyer... I mean... welcome sir! Thank you for helping us with our house move, how could we ever thank you enough? Do you have to go from house to house just to get to see where people are living? For sure Jack can be temporarily housed in a smaller apartment but I´m sure he won´t be happy when you tell that to him.

Head He threw his head back and laughed out so loud that our lovely grandmother woke up. I could feel my head spinning after only two drinks. "I don´t understand", she said scratching her head. Her head tilted to one side as she considered the question. We headed to London for two weeks and I got to say it was the best time of my life so far. It´s a voice inside my head that keeps telling me that it´s wrong to lie. I always feel like I´m covered from head to foot with my homework. Have you ever thought about using your head? Heads or tails? What would you say about head-to-head match? Don´t look me like that, I don´t need my head examined!

Leg Excuse me, could you move that chair a little bit so I can cross my legs? Hey boy! I don´t think it´s a very good idea to spread your legs in public. It´s just great feeling when you finally get out of the car and get to stretch your legs. Do you know when dog lifts its leg against the lamp post? Oh no, it seems like you have broken your leg. What happened? Oh my, I´m afraid we have to amputate your leg below the knee. It wasn´t just broken as I first thought. Sorry, my bad. His legs buckled and he collapsed on the floor. There is not so much legroom on economy-class flights, is there? You think I´m born yesterday? You´re pulling my leg! For the most part it´s the fastest runner who runs the anchor leg. Did you see that? The ball just went through his legs!

Money Where´s my money? My parents didn´t give me pocket money when I was little but I´m totally okay with that. Do you ever think how the government spends our money?! It´s a large sums of money they´re handling in banks. I lost a lot of money at the casino tonight, I admit. My dad isn´t made of money, I know that now. Uncle Scrooge is just literally rolling in his money. In these days of tight money, you should really be careful with your spending. How you dare to keep that dirty money? Time is money. And I need both. Our company needs to stop pissing money up the wall on things like company cars and exorbitant bonuses. All you guys want is easy money. Don´t you want to work for it?

Life Life´s a bitch, then you die. One of the patients was fighting for his life yesterday. He will stay in prison for life. In later life he took up writing. I think I was an annoying mosquito in my previous life. Amazingly, no lives were lost in the accident. Japanese people have a very high life expectancy. It´s amazing how much we want to know about celebrities' private life.

Stand He was standing on the road. I cant stand that guy. Stand still, they might see us if we move. Don`t just stand there, help us. Stand straight so I can measure you. I couldn`t stand up after the crash. No buildings were left standing after earthquakes. That girl was just a one night stand.

Look She had a nice look today. You have to look closer to see it clearly. I had to look twice to see it. I`m just looking around. Today I got many looks from girls, which was sur prising. Just come over and take a look. I`ve been looking for that girl whole night. Sorry I wasn`t looking so I didn`t saw it His look is terrifying.

Way I`m on my way. Get out the way, I`m in a hurry. Is there any way I can help you? I will get it done one way or another. He learned the hard way. Is there any ways to do it faster and easier? That was way too easy. There is many ways to solve this problem. Can you show me a way to the station?

Luck That was beginner`s luck. This hat gives me good luck. If we are lucky, we should be there before midnight. I didn`t expect to win it, I just went to try out my luck. I always carry my hat just for luck. I got very lucky when I won lottery. Good luck to your competition. It sucks you didn`t win it today, better luck next time! First I lost almost all my money, then my luck turned. It was pure luck we met.

Funny That guy looks funny. This movie is funny, I promise you. Please stop, you are not funny. The movie gets funnier towards the end. To be honest, I didn`t find that joke funny. That guy is hilariously funny. I find it funny, that you didn`t told me about it. This pizza tastes funny.

Time Sorry I`m late, I didn`t wake up in time. What time is it? It will be okay when the time comes. Hurry up! We don’t have much time. I`m sorry, time is up You remember that time we got arrested? We were having a great time, until he came and started fighting. I`m sure his time will come. Look at the time, we will be late again. Good, you got here just in time.

Spot I think we are in a good spot. He hides his bald spot with a hat. Just mark the spot on the map. He was on spotlight only couple weeks. This is my favourite spot to relax. His album went to number one spot just in days. You just realized my weak spot. Can you move? That`s my spot. I spotted him on the game yesterday.

Wake I woke up late today, that’s why I was late. Can you please wake up? I couldn`t wake him up so I just left him there. Don’t wake me up in the morning. I was sweaty when I woke up, because I had a nightmare. I will take care of it when I wake up.

This is the end of this material. Remember to always keep your eyes peeled for new uses for familiar words. There’s a lot of mileage even in the simplest words.
