It’s an important verb, to be sure (we just used it again), but be mindful of how often it pops up in your writing. The verb to be and its various forms ( is, am, were, etc.) is used constantly in writing and speech. There are three articles in English, and they are some of the most frequently used words:Ī verb is a word that describes an action, state, or a relation between two things. For example, the word this can be a pronoun, adjective, or adverb, depending on the context, but we have it listed under pronoun because that’s one of its most common uses.Īn article denotes whether a noun is specific or unspecific. We have listed them here by their most common part of speech. Also, each of these words may have multiple meanings. For example, we have only included do, not does, doing, and did. Note: this list doesn’t include multiple forms of the same word. As an added bonus, we have some helpful suggestions for more interesting synonyms (or words with similar meanings) that you might want to try instead. So we’re going to give you a rundown of these frequently-used words and break down their parts of speech along the way.
If those terms sound like gobbledygook to you, or you haven’t heard them since third grade English class, we understand. Many of the most frequently used words in English are important, fundamental parts of speech like articles, conjunctions, and prepositions. The words we’ve compiled here probably look familiar: they are the 100 most frequently written words in the English language.
