A Dictionary of Active Fluency Combinations / Kev Nair

Of all kinds of word combinations that are possible in English, "verb + noun" combinations are the most important ones for achieving true fluency in spoken English. This is because speech is a process, and not a finished product like writing. Speech is a dynamic process - one that keeps on changing, evolving and progressing, a happening that takes place in time. And whenever you're speaking, you're engaged in a process - the process of using words and communicating something to somebody who you're speaking to at that very moment. And verbs are the words that you need most help from in this process - especially, verbs in combination with nouns that follow them.

Here's the definitive book that gives you a core collection of "verb + noun" combinations. Master these combinations. They can help you turn into an exceptionally fluent speaker of English.
