## Description

Buy The BBI Combinatory Dictionary of English: Your guide to collocations and grammar. Third edition revised by Robert Ilson 3 by Benson, Morton, Benson, Evelyn, Ilson, Robert F. (ISBN: 9789027232618) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Clear, concise and to the point - This excellent dictionary fills a gap which even the best ordinary dictionaries hardly even try to fill: what prepositions to use with nouns and verbs; and when two or more can be used, what are the differences in meaning. Strongly recommended.
Review: Nice to have - Although one can look almost anything up online these days, it is practical to have a list of suitable collocations to hand. I find that I often end up using a word I did not initially think of myself, after having read it here whilst wanting to confirm another collocation.

This excellent dictionary fills a gap which even the best ordinary dictionaries hardly even try to fill: what prepositions to use with nouns and verbs; and when two or more can be used, what are the differences in meaning. Strongly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice to have
