Travel & Transport

Travel collocations for journeys, transport, and tourism

Introducción

El inglés para viajes tiene muchas colocaciones que los estudiantes confunden con frecuencia. Dices "catch a flight" (pillar un vuelo), no "take a flight" (aunque ambos se usan), y "miss the bus" (perder el autobús), no "lose the bus". Acertar con estas combinaciones hace que la comunicación al viajar sea mucho más fluida.

Este capítulo cubre las colocaciones de viajes y transporte para aeropuertos, hoteles, turismo y desplazamientos.
