Hey guys! So there is a website called Skell you can find here
https://skell.sketchengine.eu/#home?lang=en
This one is super useful. When you learn a new word, we should try to find out which other words it connects to.
So for example, I learned the verb ‘conduct’ in my class.But how do I use it?
Conduct to.. ?!
Conduct for -ing?!
Can I conduct a meeting?!
– Have no idea yet!
Type ‘conduct’ into Skell
Select ‘word sketch’Note: Some words in English have a noun/adjective/verb forms so select the one you want on the top-left.
This will show you all the words that are most commonly used with ‘conduct’
we can seeobject of conduct
1. study: study conducted / (to conduct a study)
2. research research conducted / (to conduct research)
3. survey survey conducted / (to conduct a survey)
4. investigation conduct an investigation
5. interview interview conducted / (to conduct an interview)We can also look at the example sentences
Note: the only downside (disadvantage) of this site is that it’s not a business site and the examples are taken from a university database, therefore, some of the examples are quite academic or scientific.
I hope that helps!
