what are the diffrences between fixed collocation and idioms
  

Top answer

Fixed collocations are words that are always (or almost always) together. Idioms are groups of words that have a different overall meaning than the meanings of the individual words. Idioms are usually fixed collocations, but fixed collocations are not often idioms.
