Pages should be waiting for you at the Mac App Store, download for free. If you like, you can also have Numbers (somewhat similar, but not identical to excel) and Keynote (somewhat similar, but not identical to PowerPoint) also for free. These Applications can read and write files to corresponding Microsoft formats for word, excel, and PowerPoint.
Word and excel are part of Microsoft office, and are NOT free. If you need to exchange files daily with users of those programs, you may prefer to pay for that package.
Another free alternative is LibreOffice, and there are some others as well that are worth considering.

4. How do I purchase office and put it on my laptop so I can use word? How is it downloadable without a place to put a disc?
Sorry about the long url but it is Microsoft:
You could also purchase a usb external DVD player for your Mac. As long as the discs are Office for Mac.
You can't put Snow Leopard on a new Mac. A Mac cannot run any system that pre-dates the one it ships with.
What exact Mac / model /Year /retina /touchbar etc do yo have?
What does Snow Leopard Disc have to do with anything?
it's a new 13"
macOS Mojave version 10.14.3
3.1GHz Intel core i5
Memory 8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Graphics Intel Iris plus graphics 650 1536 MB
Thank you...that'll work I'll have to get an external drive.
Great! Well this one doesn't have Office on it.

I need office. I can't read files sent to me
Buy and install Office for Mac. Most computers do not come with Office preinstalled.
. I have discs with office on it that I bought for my IMAC.
If it is an older version of Office it won't work with your new operating system
. This laptop has no place to put a disc, so I obviously can't use those anyway.
You could use an external cd drive.
. How do I purchase office and put it on my laptop so I can use word? How is it downloadable without a place to put a disc?
You're welcome. If you purchase it as a download you won't need to purchase a DVD player. If you already have Office for Mac that is compatible with Mojave, then just purchase the DVD player.
I have a Mac Boxed Set of Mac OSX Snow Leopard
