Answer:

On Wednesday morning, I took the <u>fast train </u>to London, which is where I work as an accountant in a bank. Even though I almost<u> burst into tears</u> due to a problem with my computer and an approaching deadline, my day was pretty good. After work, I met with my friend Joe at a<u> fast-food</u> restaurant, where we stayed until the <u>heavy rain</u> stopped. He is a funny person that always makes me laugh and have good experiences. After seeing my friend, I did the shopping, and as I <u>run out of money</u>, I took the train back home. Once inside, I went to the fridge and took all the necessary ingredients to cook dinner. As my brother was visiting me that evening, I decided to make his favorite meal, chicken, and salad and for the dessert, a chocolate cake that I bought after meeting Joe. Indeed, I had a good day.

Explanation:

Collocations are combinations of words that are more often said, read, and spoken than other sets of words to say the same thing. Also, they are fixed expressions that people use due to how often they say and hear them. For example, we can say, -I have no more money left-, or -I have run out of money- the last sentence is more usual. Also, we can say break a habit to say that we want to stop with that habit.

What is the verb phrase and the subject phrase in the sentence The Hawaiian islands are also known for their lush,exotic scenery
lbvjy [14]

In the case of this sentence we have an example of a <em>Passive Voice Sentence: </em>

<h2>The Hawaiian Islands are also known for their lush, exotic scenery</h2>

In which the <u>verb phrase</u> is are also known. “Also” in this case is just an adverb modifying the verb phrase. This last is compounded by the verb <em>To Be</em> in the present form and the perfective form of the main verb (know).

On the other hand, in this example of the passive, the <u>Subject Phrase</u> is The Hawaiian Islands which are the recipients of the action performed in the Verb Phrase by an unknown/covert agent which is not mentioned in this sentence.
