Put things into categories
To put people or things into groups based on how they are the same.
Gebruikspatroon:
to categorize [something] (as [something])
Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners sometimes say *"make categories" or "do categories" instead of "categorize". Use "categorize" as a verb: "categorize the books by color", not "do the categories of the books". Another mistake is using it without an object, like *"I like to categorize" when the meaning is unclear; it is more natural to say what you categorize, e.g. "I like to categorize my notes".
