The BBI Combinatory Dictionary of English : Your Guide to Collocations and Grammar.

Print version record.

Speak and write perfect English! BBI teaches you how to combine words with words to form phrases (so you can say "mortgaged to the hilt; I want something badly"). BBI also teaches you how to combine words into structures to form clauses and sentences (so you can say "I want you to go = What I want is for you to go"). So BBI helps you with both vocabulary and grammar. BBI shows you important vocabulary and grammatical differences between American and British English. BBI gives you plenty of examples that can serve as models for your own use of English. Some of these examples are authentic.
