Verb Collocations

Average: 4.2 (22 votes)

 

"Go diving" or "go to diving'?

When learning English it's important to learn collocations. Collocations are groups of  words that appear together in a sentence. Take a look at the following verb collocations. Each verb goes with a word or phrase:

Prepositions again

A system is a set of components "arranged to a specific design" in order to achieve desired functions with acceptable performance.

Why in the sentence the preposition -"to" is used after the verb arrange? What is the rationale behind? Maybe a verb is omitted between "to" and " a specific design". If yes, which could be the verb?

get on

Present continuous / present simple:

I hear you've got a new job. How "do" you "get" on? ___________

The verbs between " ... " are maybe wrong and I have to correct them.
But I don't unterstand the sentence and on this reason its difficult to
correct.

The first part of the Sentence means that the person have a new job.
But the second ... ??
How have you get the job ?
How have you startet the job ?

I'm little bit confused about this ( get on ) construction.

Thanks for help.

Take a look at this sentence:

"I like English a lot."

What's the subject, verb and object in the sentence?

I is the subject.
Like
is the verb.
English is the object.

English generally follows the sentence structure where the subject comes first, the verb second, and the object third.

A question of mine!

I don't remember in this moment the exact denomination of the rule I am going to speaking of so I'm going to consider an example sentence.

My questions are as follows:

a)What does the rule says?
b)Is the "'s" always mandatory?
c)What's the rule denomination?

Thanks for your answers. Bye bye.
