Tips for using these in exams or writing practice:

• Pick a target item and write 3-4 sentences using the exact collocation.
• Swap prepositions to see what sounds right (e.g., keen on vs keen to, agree with vs agree to).
• Create quick two-column flashcards: left = phrase, right = example sentence.
• Do a short quiz: fill-in-the-blank with the correct preposition or word form (e.g., be keen ___, argue ___, travel ___).

Would you like me to convert this into a printable worksheet, or into a short multiple-choice quiz (e.g., choose the correct preposition or collocation)? If you have specific items you want to focus on (e.g., exam type, Cambridge/IELTS style), tell me and I’ll tailor it.
