I have a table created with `tabular` but the text seems too close to the top border. Is there a way to add some padding to the table cells?

```
\begin{tabular}[t]{|l|l|l|l|}
        \hline
        \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{Content Words}\\
        \hline
        NOUNS & person & place & thing\\
        \hline
        VERBS & go & run & think \\
        \hline
        ADJECTIVES & good & bad & right \\
        \hline
        ADVERBS & very & almost & quite \\
        \hline
    \end{tabular}

```

I would be grateful for any suggestion. Thank you.
