This type of word provides essential information about who, what, when, where or how.  It includes nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Examples Nouns: cat, dog, bed, house Ex: The dog is on my bed Verbs: cook, think, dance, like Ex: I like pets Adjetives: bad, small, beautiful, smart Ex: My house is small Adverbs: today, always, quite, quickly Ex: They arrive today Function Word A function word is a word that does not have an autonomous meaning, but plays a structural or grammatical role in a sentence.  These words are essential for formulating appropriate sentences and linking content words, but they do not provide a great deal of semantic information.
