Part 1 Collocations:
So, as needed, I've picked ten collocations. First, I'll define a collocation and how it
differs from the literal meaning of those terms.
1) to open an account
Meaning:
● It does not indicate that you are opening the door to a bank account.
● It means that you create a bank account
Example:
● Would you like your family to open a bank account at a bank?
2) to key in a PIN
Meaning:
● This does not imply that you will use a physical key to create a PIN.
● It implies that you use a PIN made up of groups of numbers.
Example:
● Now key in your PIN at the ATM and you will be able to make a deposit.
