If you can, drop everything (except your trousers), grab a pen and piece of paper and draw 4 columns giving each one the headline: MAKE / HAVE / TAKE / DO.
I’m going to list 20 words, which link up with one of the headlined verbs (a collocation). Using your gut feeling, just write the words in the correct column(s – there can be more than one), to see how good your gut feeling is.
Gladiators, are you ready? On your marks, get set, go .. 1). a photo 2). business 3). a look 4). your utmost 5). a row 6). advantage of sth/sb 7). a profit / loss 8). an appointment 9). a suggestion / proposal 10). trouble 11). part in sth 12). a nap 13). a promise 14). well/badly 15.) fun of sb 16). an interview 17). progress 18). sb a favour 19). a go. 20.) the opportunity
To grab sth (sich etw schappen), column (Spalte), gut feeling (Bauchgefühl), “on your marks, get set, go!” (Auf die Plätze, fertig, los)
