Can you think of any verb and nouns that go together? :?
eg. to post a letter.
I am teaching a Pre- intermediate class on my Celta course.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :D

Hi Carla

There are many!

It's a good idea to introduce them in sets, around a topic or theme, or with a certain verb, to make association and memory easier for your students:

For example, around the theme of daily routines:

have a coffee
have a shower
clean your teeth
start work
have lunch
leave work
go home
meet friends
watch television
go to bed

... and so on

Or with the verb make:

make a mistake
make the bed
make dinner
make friends
make an effort

... and so on

Hope this helps - good luck with the course!
