Define what is a content word and give two examples.

In English, a content word is a word that has a meaning on its own, such as a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. Content words are those that convey the main meaning of a sentence. For example, in the sentence "She is running fast", the content words are "she", "running", and "fast". On the other hand, function words (such as prepositions, conjunctions, and articles) have no meaning of their own, but are used to connect or modify content words. two examples of content words in English are "book" (book) and "happy" (happy). Both words have their own meaning and can function as a noun or adjective in a sentence.
