A collocation dictionary

In class we've encountered sometimes several collocations. We've seen them, analised them and studied them. 

However, sometimes you NEED them. 

Like when you're writing an essay and you don't know how to express a certain expression. If I am nearby you don't hesitate and ask me but... What happens when you are at home?

Well, this is a very useful resource for these sort of moments. It's called a collocation dictionary.

Let's see an example:

You want to express that you love some very much.... 

You look up the word "love" in the Collocation Dictionary and you check the possibilities...

Did you find it?

Yes, in the verb section you can see different possibilities:
love dearly
love deeply
love passionately
love really
love tenderly
love very much

Now you only have to pick the best one from the list! 

Here's the link:
