3860
00:37
I found a lot of lists online with top 50 verbs, top 100, top 1,000 verbs in English,
13
37360
5820
00:43
but almost all of these lists were A to Z, in alphabetical order, and I wanted something
14
43180
4960
00:48
that was in order of importance.
15
48140
2100
00:50
So in my list, the first word is the most important verb, the most commonly used verb.

in daily life, but I hope it will help to serve as a good reminder.
