The 100 Most Common Words in English?

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.
