Building your vocabulary with some of the most common words used in the English language is a great start for your journey in learning this beautiful language.
Not only do these common words expand the English terminology that you know, but they also help you with your English conversation skills since they are indeed words that you hear others use everyday.
If you know 1,000 words, you will be between a functional beginner and conversational level in English. In most of the world’s languages, 500 words will be more than enough to get you through any tourist situations and everyday introductions.
Using everyday common words are the most convenient way to learn English. The more you hear these words, the better it is for you to process and understand them.
And the more you use them, the stronger your English skills become. So it’s a great process of learning from others, and at the same time, learning from yourself, too!
Okay, time to share the list! Remember that with these 1,000 words you’ll be able to ask people how they’re doing, tell them about your day and navigate everyday life situations like shopping and public transit. But also keep in mind that native-like fluency, among many other things, requires about 10,000 vocabulary words.

The power of everyday English conversations is truly remarkable. And it’s the best way to deepen your learning and love for the language.
If you want more lessons relating to English vocabulary, here’s a great lesson that talks about the different ways you can improve your English vocabulary fast.
This list of the 100 most commonly used English vocabulary can be used as a reference for beginners to English. It is a good idea to learn these words first before moving on to the less used words, as this is the vocabulary that you will come across most often. These are some of the first words English speaking children learn to spell. It is certainly not wrong if you not only know these words and how to pronounce them but also how to spell them correctly. Spelling mistakes in these simple, common words are more serious than mistakes in the more complicated words you can learn later.

Our understanding of words plays a big role in how we use them. It could most likely help us choose which words are appropriate to use with them (singular, plural, pronoun usage, among others). Thus, it is a must to know the basic categories that words may fall under in order for us to know how to use them properly.
General and Specific Words
General Words are words that name a group or a category of a set of things, people, idea, and the likes. These terms are usually used when you want to discuss an idea as a whole. Examples of general words include: furniture, money, equipment, seasoning and shoes.
Specific Words are words that, through the use of modifiers, name a specific idea, thing, person and the likes. These kinds of words are used when you want to limit your discussion to a particular idea. Examples of these words would include rocking chair, dollar, gym equipment, pepper and high-heeled shoes. The degree on how you can be specific on certain terms usually varies. Like, for example, gym equipment. Although it is already specified on what kind of equipment it is, you can still be more specific and make use of a term that names a certain kind of gym equipment.
Concrete and Abstract Words
Concrete words are words that are tangible. Although it may seem easy to point out what things are tangible and what are not, some people would still find it difficult and confusing. You just have to limit concrete words to words that refer to nouns that can be perceived by the senses. Those that can touch, smell, see, hear, taste, and feel by your senses.
Abstract words on the other hand and in opposition to concrete words, are words that can’t be perceived by the senses. Words that you can’t touch, smell, hear, taste and feel by your sense.
Denotation and Connotation
Denotation is the literal meaning of a word. It is the definition that one could get from dictionaries. Thus, for example, when we say poor, its denotation could be “a state of having little or no money.”
Connotation is the association that a word has in reference to other ideas. Poor, with its connotative meaning, could be used to refer to people who do not do excel in their field. If you notice, connotations are also derived from the denotative meaning of words.
