rumors have shown up

[murattopak]

I have written a sentence with the part of "rumors have shown up" and my teacher noted that part and wrote this : "have you checked the collocation dictionary".
I think that I did it wrong but what are the better collocations for this sentence, "come up" may be?

I tried it, and it came up with none for words following rumor, rumor, rumour or rumours.. Am I doing something wrong

You need to scroll down to 'Verbs collocated after Rumour'.

Actually, "show up" does not appear, and I would not count that as evidence that it was wrong. I would accept a collocation that was there as being right. So if you find a phrase in a dictionary it's probably right; if you can't find it, that doesn't mean it's wrong.
Still, I wouldn't say "rumours show up".

Still, I wouldn't say "rumours show up".

Neither would I- they spread/circulate/go (a)round, etc.

 

[emsr2d2]

I would have said "Rumours have started to circulate" or "Rumours have started circulating".

Also, one can say "rumors have surfaced".
