1b What are structure words? How are they different from content words? Support your answer with examples (10)
English words fall into two broad types; those that belong in the dictionary like "storm" and "confabulate", called content words and those that belong in the grammar like "of" and "the", called structure words. There are a lot of difference between structure words and content words.
Structure Words:
* They are best explained in the grammar, i.e. in terms of how they fit into sentences. e.g.: "the" is a definite article goes with nouns. * They are very limited in number, consisting of 220 or so in English. * Their frequency is very high. e.g.: all the top ten for English and 45% of the top 100 are structure words. * They are used more in spoken language. * They are less likely to be preceded by a pause in the speech, e.g.: "I hate..... the referee", perhaps because there are less of them to choose from. *
