Lesson 13

Parts of Speech - Verbs

We will talk about conjugations in later lessons.)  For example, a verb can have an s added to it as in eat, eats or run, runs.  Other changes could be eating, ate, or eaten for the verb eatRun could be changed to running, or ran.  Irregular verbs which we will cover later have several confusing changes.
