Detailed explanation-1: -T/F: For children acquiring English, nouns dominate early vocabularies: typically, of their first 50 words, 45% are nouns and only 3% are verbs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your child’s first 50 words make up what is called his expressive vocabulary.
Detailed explanation-3: -Between the ages of 2 and 3, toddlers have a huge jump in language skills: At age 2, most kids say at least 2 words together. By 30 months, they are saying 50 words or more and are understood about half of the time.
Detailed explanation-4: -The words that children tend to say first are naming words (Nouns and Proper Nouns). Then action words (Verbs) are the second earliest type of word. Other words which are learnt early on are a few examples of modifiers (for example ‘more’), and personal-social phrases (for example ‘please’, ‘no’).
