Find English Teachers
Tom M
I tried to create a quiz for English learners. It wouldn't let me submit it. Do you have to be signed up as a teacher to post a quiz?
I'll put it here anyway for anyone who wants it.
Next Saturday night, I'm ________________ a party. (There may be more than one correct answer.)
a) making
b) doing
c) throwing
d) eating
e) constructing
f) having
----
I'll check back later and give the answer or answers.

I think you can post them as learners too. It is under what shows up when you click Exercise or Question after hovering over Create a Post.

There is only one natural collocation answer and that is ( C) throwing a party. There are two or three more possibilities you may sometimes hear from foreign speakers or uneducated native English speakers but neither of these options sound good to British speakers. Because we are so polite we don't like to offend and correct or suggest the most natural options "Throwing a party". or "Having a Party" also you can/could include "Holding a Party" "Organising a Party" "Conduct a Party" this one would be used in two or more scenarios contexts or situations.
