Features: This book gets straight to the point, using English conjunctions and common words as introductions to comprehensively discuss their multiple grammatical functions and collocations. Through numerous examples, readers can solidly understand and master these concepts. It transforms the traditional rote memorization of "verb + adverb or preposition +" phrases into an imaginative and thought-based understanding in line with English thinking. This "English Imaginative Association Teaching Method" and related content has won second and third prizes in Tianjin's Outstanding Teaching Achievement Awards. The book introduces verbs and prepositions/adverbs as starting points, meticulously categorizing and summarizing their collocations with verbs. For instance, the book classifies the functional uses of the adverb "out" into over ten categories, each with numerous examples, creating vivid associations and fostering a natural sense of language. The book also introduces to readers the "New Development of English Prepositional Attributes—Noun Phrases with Prepositional Phrases as Pre-attributes," which won the author the third prize in Tianjin's Outstanding Scientific Research Achievement Award, broadening readers' perspectives. This book is suitable for university and high school teachers and students as a reference when reading English materials and learning English, as well as for college students preparing for the CET-4 and CET-6 exams, graduate entrance exams, or the TOEFL exam. It can also be used as a self-study reference for English enthusiasts.
