Collocations
Collocations are partly or fully fixed expressions that become established through repeated context-dependent use. Such terms as ‘crystal clear’, ‘middle management’, ‘nuclear family’, and ‘cosmetic surgery’ are examples of collocated pairs of words.

Phrasal verb is the name given to an English verb which is composed of two or three words. One verb is combined with a preposition (like on, in, under) or an adverb (like up, down, away). Sometimes a phrasal verb can have a meaning that is very different to the meaning of at least one of those two or three words separately
