This document discusses the different types of words in English grammar. It explains that there are closed word classes like pronouns, determiners, primary verbs, modal verbs, prepositions, and conjunctions. These classes have a finite and relatively stable membership. There are also open word classes like nouns, adjectives, full verbs, and adverbs. These classes are constantly changing as new words are adopted. Most verbs relate to actions or states, but verbs denoting lack of motion can also be dynamic. The document then discusses operators in verb phrases and sentences.
