Forms of the word content - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

В английском языке существуют правила, которые встречаются крайне редко. И даже если иногда кажется, что все темы уже давно пройдены, спешим вас обрадовать, — у нас еще есть, чем удивить. В данной статье мы рассмотрим один из таких примеров, а именно разницу между content (самостоятельные) и function (служебные) words.

Кроме того, что все английские слова делятся на 8 частей речи, они также относятся к одной из перечисленных групп: content или function. Прежде чем детально рассмотреть каждую из них, предлагаем сперва разобраться, что же они значат.

Content Words = информация или значение

Function Words = слова, необходимые для грамматического построения предложений

Иными словами, content words дают нам важную пояснительную информацию о словах в предложении, а function — связывают эти слова в предложении между собой.

Виды знаменательных слов или content word types

Самостоятельные слова чаще всего выступают в роли существительного, глагола, прилагательного или наречия. Самостоятельное слово в качестве существительного указывает на объект, а глагола — на происходящее действие или состояние. Прилагательные же дают нам информацию о предмете, в то время как наречия говорят о том, как, где и когда было совершено действие. При этом, все перечисленные части речи в качестве самостоятельных слов предоставляют необходимые для понимания ситуации данные.

Имя существительное = человек, предмет или место

Глагол = действие или состояние

Имя прилагательное = описание предмета, человека, места или объекта

Наречие = описание предмета, человека, места или объекта

Например:

Building — здание (имя существительное, указывает на объект).

Phoebe — Фиби (имя собственное, указывает на человека).

River — река (имя существительное, указывает на объект).

Science — наука (имя существительное, указывает на объект).

Box — коробка (имя существительное, указывает на предмет).

Smile — улыбаться (глагол, указывает на действие).

Buy — покупать (глагол, указывает на действие).

Learn — учить (глагол, указывает на действие).

Take care about — заботиться (глагол, указывает на действие).

Trust — доверять (глагол, указывает на состояние).

Light — светлый (имя прилагательное, описывает предмет).

Difficult — сложный (имя прилагательное, описывает действие/ситуацию).

Kind — добрый (имя прилагательное, описывает человека).

Chip — светлый (имя прилагательное, описывает предмет).

Tender — мягкий (имя прилагательное, описывает предмет).

Slow — медленный (имя прилагательное, описывает действие/ситуацию).

Quickly — быстро (наречие; описывает действие).

Carefully — осторожно (наречие; описывает действие).

Often — часто (наречие; описывает действие).

Slowly — медленно (наречие; описывает действие).

Кроме всех перечисленных выше частей речи, самостоятельные слова также могут выступать в роли:

Отрицательных частиц/слов: no, not и never.
Указательных местоимений: this, that, these и those.
Вопросительных слов: what, where, when, how and why.

Виды функциональных слов или function word types

Функциональные слова соединяют слова в предложении. Функциональными словами могут быть вспомогательные глаголы, предлоги, артикли, союзы и местоимения. Вспомогательные глаголы указывают на время (например: Present Simple, Past Perfect и т. д.), предлоги — на пространственно-временные отношения слов в предложении. Артикли говорят о числе и конкретике, а местоимения указываю на существительное (объект, человека).

К вспомогательным глаголам относятся все формы do, have, be.

Артикли: a/an, the.

Например:

In — в (предлог, указывает на пространственно-временные отношения).

At — в/на (предлог, указывает на пространственно-временные отношения).

Between — между (предлог, указывает на пространственно-временные отношения).

Under — под (предлог, указывает на пространственно-временные отношения).

And — и (союз).

But — но (союз).

So — так (союз).

As — как, согласно (союз).

Since — с тех пор, как (союз).

Ours — наш (местоимение).

I — я (местоимение).

We — мы (местоимение).

Him — его (местоимение).

Знать о существовании самостоятельных и функциональных слов важно не только для общего развития, но и потому что первые всегда выделяются во время разговора (ударение). Функциональные же слова не выделяются интонационно. Таким образом, изучив эту статью вы значительно улучшите свои коммуникационные навыки и станете еще ближе к чистой британской речи.

Источник

It may seem obvious that the plural form of “content” is “contents,” but often the word “content” can reference multiple things as well. This fact can cause confusion when deciding how to properly use each term. Here we will review the meaning of and proper usage of “content” and “contents.”

What Is The Difference Between “Content” And “Contents”?

The word “content” refers to something that is typically intangible (i.e., facts, ideas, a substance) and is contained within something else (i.e., a website, book, type of food). The word “contents” refers to two or more physical things (can be touched), that are kept inside of something else.

In other words, you would say “contents” if the things you are referring to can be counted, whereas the “content” of something may be many things but it is impossible to separate or count them with a number.

Is “Contents” The Plural Of “Content”?

The word “contents” is the plural form of the noun “content,” because it indicates more than one thing contained within another thing (i.e., the contents of the boxes). A noun is always rendered as plural if it ends in “s” or “es,” which is the case with “contents.”

Because the “s” at the end of “contents” makes it a plural noun, it can only be used in a context where it is referring to more than one thing and those things. Plural nouns are also typically able to be counted with numbers.

What Does “Content” Mean?

When used as a noun, The Cambridge Dictionary defines “content” as either “the ideas that are contained in a piece of writing, speech, or film.” or “information, images, video, etc. that are included as part of something such as a website.”

You can see that both of these definitions refer to non-physical, or intangible things and they all also pertain to types of information. The examples shown here further illustrate this concept.

The content on the website was poorly written and not easy to navigate so I couldn’t get the information that I needed.
Everyone said that the content of the movie was not very suitable for children.
The content in the textbook was laid out well and helped me to understand the subject matter clearly.
Before you turn in your paper, look over the content to make sure that it matches the requirements of the assignment.

What Does “Contents” Mean?

As a plural noun, the word “contents” is defined in The Cambridge Dictionary as “everything that is contained within something” and specifically refers to an amount. Therefore, the word “contents” refers to tangible items that can be counted.

There is one exception to the “tangible” aspect, which may prove slightly confusing. You can refer to the “contents” of a book which always means the specific “table of contents” or the place where the chapters of the book are listed by number. Since they can be counted, you can use the word “contents,” but you cannot touch them, so they are not tangible.

Let’s look at several examples that show how the word “contents” can be properly used in a sentence.

The contents of the box included some old clothes and pictures and several pairs of shoes.
The table of contents indicated that the book had 17 chapters.
When she emptied her purse on the table, the contents included a lipstick, a pen, a wallet, and her keys.
What are the contents of your lunchbox today?

Is “Content” A Countable Or Uncountable Noun?

The word “content” is always used as an uncountable noun. An uncountable noun refers to substances, concepts, or other things that we cannot divide into separate components. Therefore, we cannot “count” them or assign a number to them.

We saw this concept demonstrated in the examples above where we showed “content” used in a sentence. Let’s look at a few other examples to make sure that the understanding remains clear with regard to the concept of being uncountable.

The content of the speech was dry and unmotivating.
Candy bars often have a very high sugar content in them and shouldn’t be eaten every day.
I followed her on Instagram because I really enjoyed the content she posted each day.
The high-fat content in avocados often causes people to avoid them, even though the fat is a good type of fat.

See how in each of these examples, the word “content” refers to the whole of something made up of more than one part, but we cannot break it down further into tangible and countable things.

What Is The Correct Pronunciation Of “Content”?

There are two correct and accepted pronunciations for the word “content.” The word can be pronounced as /ˈkäntent/ or /kənˈtent/. The difference in pronunciation depends on whether it is being used as an adjective or a noun.

In the way we’ve been discussing it here, the word is being used as a noun. When used as a noun, the proper pronunciation is /ˈkäntent/.

However, the word “content” can also be used as an adjective meaning “pleased with your situation and not hoping for change or improvement.” In this usage, the word is pronounced as /kənˈtent/.

Be sure to learn and utilize the proper pronunciation for proper clarity and understanding from your audience.

Can “Content” And “Contents” Be Used Interchangeable?

The word “content” and “contents” are not interchangeable when you follow the rules of usage that we have discussed. The word “content” should be used when you want to express uncountable ideas, information, concepts, etc. The word “contents” should be used when referring to physical things that you can count.

Despite these rules, you will sometimes see people using the two words interchangeably in conversation and written English. In fact, it is starting to be more commonly accepted in certain situations.

Here are some examples that do not follow the rules for the word that is used, but still make sense.

Incorrect: The contents of the letter were private and she vowed to never tell them to anyone.
Incorrect: He dropped the jug of milk and spilled its contents all over the floor.

See how in the first example if we follow the rules, we would use the word “content” because there is no real way to count the words, ideas, thoughts, etc. that were in the letter. They are abstract and not tangible.

In the second example, the milk that is spilled all over the floor is a tangible substance, but it is also not able to be counted because it is a single liquid.

If we follow the rules we discussed, the sentence would read:

Correct: The content of the letter was private and she vowed to never tell it to anyone.
Correct: He dropped the jug of milk and spilled its content all over the floor.

Is “Content” Or “Contents” Used The Most?

In the modern English Language, the word “content” is used much more often than the word “contents.” Up until the early 1900s, the two words were used at a similar rate, and around 1907, the word “content” began to soar in popularity.

This Google Ngram Viewer shows the usage trends for the two words from 1800 until today. You can see that although the usage of the word “contents” has remained relatively steady throughout history, the word “content” has increased dramatically in usage from the beginning of the 20th century until today.

Is It “Table Of Content” Or “Table Of Contents”?

It is correct to say “table of contents” and incorrect to say “table of content.” The reason is that a “table of contents” lists all of the chapters that are included in the book and it is something that is able to be counted.

Correct: Each section of the textbook has its own table of contents which lists the chapters included within that section.
Incorrect: I always take a glance at its table of content before deciding whether or not I want to read a book.

Is It “File Content” Or “File Contents”?

You will most likely hear this phrase used both ways, but the most correct way according to the rules is to use the phrase “file contents.” The reason is that a file typically contains things that can be seen and counted, or broken down into smaller parts.

Correct: The paralegal delivered the file contents to the lawyer so that he could use them to write his brief.
Incorrect: When I clicked the wrong button on the computer, I accidentally deleted the file content, which included 3 papers I had written and not yet turned in to my boss.

Is It “Content Page” Or “Contents Page”?

The phrase “contents page” is correct because this phrase is another way of referring to a “table of contents” in a physical book or a directory of content on a website. Either way, the “content” can be counted and should be used in the plural form.

Correct: Flip to the contents page of the book and tell me the title that the author gave to chapter 18.
Incorrect: Look at the content page of the textbook to get an overview of the subject matter included in the text.

‘content‘ also found in these entries (note: many are not synonyms or translations):

Content (Uncountable Noun)

The singular “content” is typically an uncountable noun. Uncountable nouns are terms that refer to something as an undifferentiated whole. “Content,” then, usually refers to something as a whole, not individual items. One common use is to refer to the ideas communicated within something (e.g., a book or speech):

The content of the wedding speech made the groom blush.

But it can also refer to an amount of something within something else:

Croissants have a very high fat content.

Here, the “container” is the croissant, so the “content” is the fat in the croissant.

Contents (Plural Noun)

“Contents” is a plural countable noun. Typically, we use this when referring to something within a container, such as items in a bag:

The contents of her shopping bag spilled across the ground.

Another common use of “contents” is to refer to a page in a book or another publication that lists all the chapters or sections within:

I checked the table of contents to find the appendix.

These are the two main uses of “contents” as a noun.

A table of contents.

“Content” as a Verb and Adjective

We’ve looked at the noun “content” above, but this word can also be a verb or an adjective. As a verb, it means “satisfy” or “induce a state of contentment”:

He contented himself with watching the TV.

The third-person singular form of this is “contents.” This is the only time you will need this spelling other than when it’s a countable noun.

As an adjective, meanwhile, “content” means “pleased or satisfied”:

I was content to spend my life proofreading.

But the adjectival form of this word is only ever spelled “content.”

Summary: Content vs. Contents

While “content” and “contents” can both mean “something contained within something,” there’s usually a subtle difference in how we use these terms:

Content is an uncountable noun. We use it when referring to the ideas or subject matter of something (e.g., the “content of a speech”).
Contents is a plural countable noun. We use it for things in a container or for sections of a publication (e.g., book chapters in a “table of contents”).

If you are unsure which word to use, think about the context. Are you referring to ideas? If so, use “content.” If you are referring to something in a container or sections of a book, on the other hand, use the plural “contents.” And if you’d like further help with the spelling in a document, try our proofreading service.
