By analyzing a large corpus of English text, this study aims to identify and describe the most common and productive verb collocations in the language. The findings of this study will be of interest to learners of English, teachers, and researchers alike.

This study will employ a corpus-based approach, which involves the use of computer software to analyze large datasets of text. By examining the frequency and distribution of verb collocations in the corpus, this study will be able to identify patterns and trends in their usage. The findings of this study will be presented in a clear and concise manner, and will be supported by illustrative examples.
