English language uses collocations, lexical chunks, and idioms that frequently occur together in pairs or groups, rather than just individual words. Collocations refer to groups of two or more words that commonly go together, such as "do business" or "catch a bus", even if the reason for their grouping is not obvious. Lexical chunks are fixed or semi-fixed strings of words that behave as a single unit, like "over the moon" or "nice to see you". Idioms are phrases where the overall meaning cannot be understood from the individual words alone, such as "full of beans" meaning energetic. These multi-word expressions can be difficult for learners due to their idiomatic nature.
