Chunking refers to the phenomenon where individual words "stick" together to form a single unit of meaning. Instead of constructing a sentence word-by-word using grammar rules, native speakers retrieve these pre-fabricated blocks from memory.

Grammar books teach you how to build sentences theoretically. A chunk list teaches you how English is actually used. For example, a dictionary tells you what "decision" means, but a chunk list tells you that you make a decision, you don't do a decision.
