Grammar in this module

• Idiomatic verb-noun collocations and fixed expressions — Native-like fluency depends on collocations — verb-noun pairs whose combination is fixed by convention, not logic.
• Stylistic register: formal, neutral and colloquial variants — C1 speakers can shift the same idea across registers — choosing vocabulary and syntax to match academic, professional or casual contexts.
