Yeah, it’s a good list but I think it won’t serve too much unless we try to use the words in sentences and have somebody competent check them for us.
There are two main reasons for doing so:


Memorization from context is easier.
Some idioms are way too specific. For instance, while one knows that native goes with of or to, one may still get the question wrong because one may not know that native of is commonly only used for people’s nationality whereas native to is used for species characteristic to a specific region.
