We compiled this list by taking forty newspapers and magazines and simply sorting the words and then counting the frequency of the words. We broke them down in groups of 200. The frequency of use is true for the groups but not within the groups. For convenience I sorted the words within each group of 200. Also if you should count the words you would find that there are fewer than 3000 words. Actually there are 2126 words listed. This is true because I removed words that were simply plurals of words. For example tree is on the third and fourth hundred-word list so I removed trees as somewhat unnecessary. Also I removed some but not all simple regular past tense words where I thought it would serve little purpose. I also removed the regular words duplicated in the ing suffix. For example spell is there but I removed spelling and spelled. This list is useful for the student who wishes a vocabulary list for simple conversation. It is an excellent base to begin with. It is interesting to note that the list is very contemporary. For example the names Paul and George are on the list. This is no doubt due to Pope Paul and President George Bush at the time the list was compiled. Note that when a word is capitalized it is a persons name, a proper noun or title. For example Miss is a title, while miss is a verb or a noun. 2126最常用英语单词 The 1st and 2nd 187 Words about after again air all along also an and another any are around as at away back be because been before below between both but by came can come could day did different do does dont down each end even every few find first for found from get give go good great had has have he help her here him his home house how I if in into is it its just know large last left like line little long look made
