    The document discusses lexical chunks, which are groupings of words that commonly go together, such as adverb-adjective combinations ("utterly charming"), adjective-noun combinations ("bitter cold"), and verb-preposition combinations ("believe in"). It provides examples of several common lexical chunks, including adverb-adjective combinations ("extremely happy"), adjective-noun combinations ("green tea"), noun-noun combinations ("coffee shop"), verb-adverb combinations ("walk briskly"), verb-noun combinations ("make a decision"), and verb-preposition combinations ("listen to"). It also lists collocations involving common verbs like "give," "catch," "come," "go," "have," "make," and "ask."
