Content Words and Function Words

Many English words describe things, actions, feelings etc. If we can see, smell, touch and do these things, actions, and feelings, we use content words.

Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives and Adverbs are content words. N, VB, ADJ and ADV are important words, so we make them easy to hear (they are very clear). When we speak English, N, VB, ADJ and ADV are LONG (Loooooong), LOUD (LOUD) and HEAVY (heavy).
