PTE Collocations: free practice questions

Each sentence has one gap. Pick the word that English speakers put with the words around it, like "make a mistake" rather than "do a mistake". These pairs come up again and again in the fill in the blanks tasks.

These are original practice questions written by the PTE Nepal team, and a teacher approves each one before it appears here. They are not real exam questions, and marking here is a practice self-check, not a PTE score. How we check
