A word is a unit of language that can be spoken or written.
The idea
Use a word for one and words for several. Ask What does this word mean? to request its meaning, and use say the word for speech.
Examples
- What does this word mean?
- I know that word.
- Please write the word here.
- The sentence has five words.
- She learned a new word today.
- Can you say that word slowly?
