Частный репетитор по английскому языку
Вы никогда не задумывались, какие слова в английском языке встречаются чаще других? Как вы понимаете, это вопрос не только любопытства, но ещё и чистой прагматики: если все слова в языке выучить физически невозможно (конечно, можно, но будем считать, что нет), то какие из них всё же следует знать в первую очередь?
Ниже у вас есть возможность ознакомиться с перечнем из числа 500 самых часто встречаемых английских слов. Оговорюсь сразу: исследование проводилось не только по книгам и журналам, но также было задействовано телевидение и даже, говорят, устная речь. Как они это сделали, не спрашивайте, не знаю, но список вполне официальный и полный. Думаю, все слова из него вам будут знакомы.

Другие лингвисты пошли слегка другим путём и составили список из 100 наиболее часто встречающихся уже не слов, а лексем, то есть не просто слов, как они нам встречаются в речи, а «исходных» форм. Так, вы не найдёте тут, скажем, слова is или am, потому что их вобрала в себя лексема be.

Наконец, существует отдельный список наиболее часто употребляемых существительных, глаголов, прилагательных и предлогов. Ознакомьтесь на досуге. Предлоги вызвали у меня наибольшее количество вопросов, поскольку я не обнаружил в их числе, например, предлога off, который в первом списке стоял на 185-м месте. Неужели они посчитали его наречием?
