(Using Corpus Analysis Software)
But first What is CORPUS???
CORPUS is a collection of naturally-occurring texts in a computer-readable format which can be retrieved and analyzed using corpus analysis software. Some Sources of language corpora
- British National Corpus (BNC)

To use corpus:
For those who are interested in specific topic and who have the program
This is the website that you can download program
http://www.laurenceanthony.net/software.html
After you downloaded the program
1. You have to find the topic that you are interested such as football, swimming, gymnastic, detective etc.
2. After you can should your topic, you have to search some information and copy and paste it in Notepad.
3. Open the program, and open the file.
4. Now, you can search the words that you are interested and noticed them in the sentences.
For those who want to search the words without downloading the program.
1. You can go on the website that I gave above.
2. And Search some words.
With the corpus, you can learn many things such as real using English of native speakers, colocations, style and some grammatical function etc.
