 Re: Complete / true
Dictionaries can be a very big help if used properly. If you can't find the adjectives the word 'stranger' collocates with you should buy some dictionary of collocations. For example, I'd advise you to buy "Oxford: Collocations - dictionary for students of English". Say you need to find out what adjectives you can use with the word 'stranger'. On opening such a dictionary you find out that you can say: a complete (perfect, total) stranger. That's quite easy, I quess. |
