If we go by the definition of “word” above, the sentence has seven
words. However, if we focus on how many distinct elements in the
sentence are there, meaning, how many words are there
disregarding any repetition, then there are only six words. Since
“the” is repeated once, only one “the” is counted. Thus, the
sentence has the words “the”, “cats”, “talked”, “and”, “dogs”, and
“walked” without counting the repeated “the”.
