Most common words in English
The most common words in English. The English language has a huge number of words to learn. English has over 100,000 word families, which are words with the same root (like “played”, “playful” and “playing” which all share the root word “play”).
It also gains around three new words every day… OMG!
But research shows that there’s no reason to be scared. You will be able to understand about 65% of all written material in the English language with only 300 words. Yes only 300 words.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Why you don’t need as many words as you think
Have you ever heard of the 80/20 principle? This fascinating idea is well-known in economics and business. It explains that in many skills 20% of your time and energy generates 80% of your results. The same rule can be applied to language learning, too.
With this in mind, let’s take a look at the research of Dr. Edward Fry, who collected the most common English words for his book Dr. Fry’s 1000 Instant Words. He found that the 25 most commonly used words appear in a huge 30% of written material in English.
The first 100 are used in about 50%, and the first 300 are used in about 65%.
Dr. Fry’s findings mean that with just 300 words, you can understand the majority of texts written in English. Pretty incredible, huh?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
The 300 most common words in English
Dr. Fry’s word lists have helped English learners young and old develop their core vocabulary.
I’ve collected the most common English words below, split into the major word classes (verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs) and four more word classes (prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions and contractions).
If you see some words repeated in these lists, don’t forget that many English words can be in more than one class.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][wpdatatable id=”7″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][wpdatatable id=”8″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][wpdatatable id=”9″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][wpdatatable id=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][wpdatatable id=”12″][wpdatatable id=”15″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][wpdatatable id=”13″][wpdatatable id=”14″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
