4. You must show me your passport
'The landing has been much better this time so the book must be really good'. These words came to Paco's mind when the plane arrived in Freetown. He took a taxi and went to the hotel straight away.
At the reception, there was a young woman of about 25 years of age who talked to Paco in a very nice accent. Paco is starting to distinguish the different accents and he is finding it very interesting.
Receptionist - Can I help you?
Paco - Yes, please. I booked a single room last week. My name's Paco González.
Receptionist - Yes, here it is. Room 65. You must show me your passport.
Paco - Here you are.
Receptionist - Thanks. It's a bit early but the cleaners must have done your room already, so you can go in.
Paco - Great! I'm tired and I fancy a rest. Do I need to leave the key at the reception whenever I go out?
Receptionist - No, you needn't. But you mustn't smoke in your room and you must be respectful towards the other guests of course. Ah! And you have to leave the room by 12 o'clock everyday.
Paco - No problem. I get up early. By the way, how can I get to the city centre?

The case we have just seen above is an example of 'collocation'.
Collocations are words that naturally go together. If we say 'I lost my bus', it does not sound natural. However, if we say 'I lost my book', that is a natural correct sentence.
Here is another example. Think of any word you can use in the gap:
I _______________ my homework yesterday.
a) did
b) finished
c) made
