English Collocations Checker
Check common English word pairings and phrases for natural-sounding writing.
A phrase like "do a mistake" is grammatically fine and still sounds off to a native ear, since English pairs certain words together by convention rather than by any rule, "make a mistake," "heavy rain," "strong coffee," combinations a grammar checker has no reason to flag since nothing about them is actually incorrect. This tool checks common English word pairings and phrases for exactly that kind of natural-sounding fit, flagging a technically correct combination that still doesn't read the way a native speaker would actually phrase it.

Useful for catching an unnatural verb-noun pairing that passes every grammar check but still sounds slightly off, polishing a piece of writing to sound more idiomatic beyond simply fixing errors, or double-checking a specific word combination in a formal document before it goes out.
