>The 100 Most Common Words in English?

May 22, 2009 //

>It’s great to learn new words and structures in English, but sometimes it’s also a good idea to go back and review what you already know.

Today’s activity comes from the Sporcle website and is a quick test to see if you know the 100 most commonly used words in the English language.

Task:

Go to: http://www.sporcle.com/games/common_english_words.php You will see a grid with 100 space and a time limit of 12 minutes set and ready.

Before you start, think about what some of the most commonly used words might be in your first language. In English articles, pronouns and prepositions are used in almost every sentence, so you might think about starting with those.
When you are ready click on ‘Ready? Click to Start‘.

Start typing words into the box. Correct words will appear in the grid. If not you will have to delete the word and try another one.

After 12 minutes the correct words will appear. Good luck.

I hope you enjoy this activity. Here you can find more Quiz Activities or you could search the Sporcle site for more language related quizzes

Really Learn 100 Phrasal Verbs

This books covers 100 of the most frequent and useful phrasal verbs in English, with their main
meanings. You may find that a phrasal verb has other meanings that are not covered in this book,
but our aim is to give you what you need to master the phrasal berbs that you need in everyday
English.The phrasal verbs in this book are arranged in alphabetical order according to the particles,
so that “look after” comes before “bring up”, but you can do the pages in any order, as each page
deals with a separate verb. There are also ten revision pages, which bring together verbs that have
been covered in the other pages.

The title of each page shows you the general form of the phrasal verb. This already gives you some
grammatical information – notice how this particular verb can be used both with and without and
object, and how the object mus be “somebody” (i.e. a person)

Each topic is covered in these six easy steps:
– Study
– Check
– Practise
– Build your vocabulary
– Revise
– Get it right
