This article examines the role and significance of collocations in the English language. Collocations, as linguistic units, ensure natural, fluent, and comprehensible communication. The article provides a definition of collocations, discusses their main types, and explores their application in both spoken and written English. Furthermore, it analyzes common collocational errors made by English language learners and suggests effective ways to overcome them.
