常用 is an adjective meaning 'commonly used', not a verb phrase. Learners may mistakenly say *我常用这本词典 to mean 'I often use this dictionary', which is grammatically correct with 常 (often) + 用 (use) as an adverbial-verb structure, but 常用 as a compound adjective cannot be used this way. Note: 常用 as an adjective directly modifies nouns, e.g., 常用词 (common words).
