So collocations related to leisure.
And just a quick note about what is a collocation?
You're worrying about it and not quite sure.
Well, a collocation is simply two or more words that are often seen together or often used together.
And collocations for our students are really helpful because they're not just single words and when you use them, you're using actual phrases or expressions and then this way can make you more easily understood and help you to speak like a native, which is what we're trying to do.
Okay, so as I said, collocations connected with leisure.
So first one, to catch up on sleep.
Well, we all have to do that from time to time if we've been working hard or we've been playing hard.
So we have to catch up on sleep.
So, yeah, what are you doing tomorrow morning?
Do you fancy going for a game of tennis?
No, I think actually I'll have a lazy morning.
