High Use Words
Almost certainly some words in the English language are used more often than
others. Have you ever thought about which words are used the most often? It
is generally believed that the following ten words are the most used words
in the English language:
the of
a and
to in
is you
it that
This list probably isn't too surprising and the really good thing about this
list these are all short, easy words that very few people have difficulty
spelling. The only word from this list which is sometimes confused with
other words is "to" which is sometimes confused with "too" and "two".
Here are ten more very frequently used words:
for was
on are
as with
they at
be this
There aren't too many sentences which don't contain at least one of the high
