1. With tax season finally running its *course*...
Is it about the "period of time" or more like an "event"?

2. Is it "grammar" structure or "grammatical" structure?

3. collocation
Definition:
co-occurrence of words: the association between two words that are typically or frequently used together

Is it about how words are commonly used together or about how words are used from a grammatical aspect?

4
Come on through to my office= Come to my office
Do they mean the same thing?

5
Desperado=wanted criminal?
How are they different in any way?

Thanks

1. Since we are talking about season, 'course' should mean time.

2. Grammatical structure.

3. Words commonly used together.

4. Yes.

5. When we say desperado we mean a desperate criminal or an outlaw and it implies he is also the most wanted criminal.
