Collocations with Time

Learning collocations helps you improving your English vocabularies. Here shows the common collocations with time used frequently in daily conversation of native English speakers.
Read the explanation is here or watch the video. 

Collocations

Tell me who you go with and I'll tell you who you are.

What is a collocation?

A collocation is two or more words that often go together. These combinations just sound "right" to native English speakers, who use them all the time. One the other hand, other combinations may be unnatural and just sound "wrong". Look at these examples:

natural English...	unnatural English...
the fast train	the quick train
fast food	quick food
a quick shower	a fast shower
a quick meal	a fast meal

Why learn collocations?

• Your language will be more natural and more easily understood.
• You will have alternative and richer ways of expressing yourself.
• It is easier for our brains to remember and use language in chunks or blocks rather than as single words.

How to learn collocations

• Be aware of collocations, and try to recognize them when you see or hear them.
• Treat collocations as single blocks of language. Think of them as individual blocks or chunks, and learn strongly support, not strongly + support.
• When you learn a new word, write down other words that collocate with it (remember rightly, remember distinctly, remember vaguely, remember vividly).
• Read as much as possible. Reading is an excellent way to learn vocabulary and collocations in context and naturally.
• Revise what you learn regularly. Practise using new collocations in context as soon as possible after learning them.
• Learn collocations in groups that work for you. You could learn them by topic (time, number, weather, money, family) or by a particular word (take action, take a chance, take an exam).
• You can find information on collocations in any good learner's dictionary. And you can also find specialized dictionaries of collocations.

Types of collocation

There are several different types of collocation made from combinations of verb, noun, adjective, etc. Some of the most common types are:

• adverb + adjective: completely satisfied (NOT downright satisfied)
• adjective + noun: excruciating pain (NOT excruciating joy)
• noun + noun: a surge of anger (NOT a rush of anger)
• noun + verb: lions roar (NOT lions shout)
• verb + noun: commit suicide (NOT undertake suicide)
• verb + expression with preposition: burst into tears (NOT blow up intears)
• verb + adverb: wave frantically (NOT wave feverishly)

Ahead of time

I received an email from Google's DHR (Department of Human Resources) last week. The women emailed me using the idiom head of time in her email. I did not understand what it means exactly. Googling a while, I have found that it is an interesting locution.

Usage

Following Online Cambridge Dictionary, this idiom is used to express earlier than a particular moment.

Please note that we do require a couple of weeks notice to have an interview scheduled so it is always best to have these scheduled ahead of time.

Look at the category of ahead of time of  a magazine, the writings in this group are talking about innovative and cutting-edge technologies. It means that they are new and go earlier than the current moment.

Next, I am going to share my discoveries with you. I have searched images of this idiom at the website shutterstock. Frankly, the results show images  involving in the future as well as the next things.

What's next? Hurry Up! Faster! Ahead... Summer Just Ahead. Crisis Ahead! Forward Arrow...

Variants

5 years head of any other phone: năm năm tới của bất kì điện thoại nào

a head of your time: not meaning the earlier than a special moment. But it also concerns in the things/ideas happening before at the present. It is used to express having very ​modern ​ideas. We could see the cartoons and comics about this idiom via the link I have just put.
