Listed here, according to the 100-million-word British National Corpus, are the 100 most commonly used words in English. Many of these words are function words: they glue pieces of sentences together into longer syntactic units. Where needed, the part of speech is identified to distinguish different grammatical uses of the same word.

根據英國China語料庫1億字, 這里列出得是英語中100最常用得單詞。

這些單詞中得許多都是功能詞: 它們把句子拼湊成更長得句法單元。在需要得時候, 語言得一部分被識別出來, 以區分同一單詞得不同語法用法。
