“Learning vocabulary is not just about words—it’s about knowing which words belong together.”
This worksheet develops students’ understanding of collocations and phrasal verbs to improve fluency and natural expression in English. It includes four differentiated activities: identifying correct collocations, matching phrasal verbs with meanings, completing sentences using context, and rewriting sentences with natural expressions. Suitable for Grade 7–8 learners (CEFR B1–B1+) and aligned with CCSS, ACARA, and Cambridge frameworks. Includes a full answer key for easy assessment.
