Work together on a shared goal
To work with other people to do something together, usually a project or piece of work.
Mẫu sử dụng:
to collaborate with [someone] on [something]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes say *"collaborate to someone"* instead of *"collaborate with someone"*. Use "with" for the person and "on" for the thing, e.g. "collaborate with my friend on a project." Another mistake is using it with a direct object, like *"We collaborated the report"*; you should say "We collaborated on the report." Learners also mix up "cooperate" and "collaborate"; "collaborate" usually suggests working together on a specific project or creative/technical task.
