The list of words below are the most frequently used 2265 words in Spoken English. The words
were selected by analyzing more than 250,000 words from hundreds of conversations. The only
words to make it into the list were those that were also found in the BNC top 3,000, The COCA
5,000, and the Longman 3,000.
The frequency number is how often the word appears out of 250,000 words. For example if you
divide 250,000 by 9243, then we can see that the word "the" appears once in every 27 words.
However, this number should only be used as a general guide. The numbers can change
depending on the topic, demographic, and many other variables. Although the number cannot be
accurate, it can be used to provide insight into the frequency of words in relation to other words.
The Type column refers to what type of word it is. In many cases, a word can be multiple types.
The first one listed is more frequently used than the second. For example, the word "can" is used
as an auxiliary verb such as, "I can ride a bike." Also, it is a noun such as can of food. In this
particular case, "can" is used commonly in both ways, but it is more frequently used as an
auxiliary verb. In some cases, the third or fourth type might not be used regularly.
