The answer you will find
in this article is not fallacious but a sheer fact that you will definitely attest
to after getting the revelation.
The English language has
over one billion words, but out of these numerous words, there are a few words
you cannot do without in your everyday speech. In fact, if you don't say these
words at least ten times in a day while speaking, your sentence is
incomplete. Even pidgin has these unavoidable words.
Without taking much of
your time, I will introduce these prominent English words to you. They are just
two. The first on my list is 'I', the first person singular pronoun. This
pronoun is used by all English speakers on a daily basis as it reflects one's personality.
Every English user uses it to introduce himself/herself, write statements,
answer questions or anything that has to do with his or her person; thus, it cannot
be avoided in our everyday speech.
The second word is 'you',
the second person singular and plural pronoun. It occupies the second seat
because of its communicative role. In a communication exchange between two or
more persons, the person speaking (the speaker) mostly refers to the hearer or
his audience as 'you' although the speaker, at some point, brings to the floor
the third person with the use of 'he' or 'she'. You can as well attest to the
fact that when you are communicating with your friend(s), aside using the first
person pronoun (I) to represent yourself, you refer to your friend(s) as 'you'.
This makes 'you' the second most used English word.
Having said that, do you
agree with the foregoing claim? If you don't, just think about it. But before
you go, what are the most commonly used words in your language?
