- How to use it
- As a verb, "combine" carries the action of the sentence. Practice it in three forms — a fact about yourself, a question, and a negative — for example, turn the example sentence above into your own situation.
- Common mistake
- Pattern: 'combine A with B' — 'combine study with work', not 'combine study and work' (though that's understood, 'with' is the standard collocation).
