Life Admin Collocations: Money, Shopping, Tech & Daily Errands

Do you shop around for deals or shop for deals? Can you run a system scan or do you make a system scan? English collocations — natural word partnerships — are essential for sounding fluent in everyday situations, but they're rarely taught systematically.

This challenge covers the most common collocations you need for daily life admin tasks. You'll practice shopping expressions (shop around, grab bargains, stock up on), money and banking phrases (apply for a mortgage, stick to a budget, pay bills), tech troubleshooting language (run a scan, boot up, back up files), and everyday errands (make appointments, run errands, pick up prescriptions). The 20 questions use single-choice, drop-down, drag-and-drop, and multi-choice formats to test your instinct for natural English combinations.
