Study those roots!

Today we studied our Greek and Latin roots, and it is evident that many of you need to continue studying tonight.  That's the only homework.

We also introduced a discusion about verbs.  There are three types: Action Verbs, Linking Verbs, and Helping Verbs.

Action Verbs - these are the things you do!  Run, jumps, laughed, crying ... all action verbs!

Linking Verbs - these act as a link between the subject and a word that that describes or renames it.  They are usually "To Be" verbs.

Helping Verbs - these are little verbs like "To Be" verbs or "To Have" verbs.  They are always hanging on to bigger verbs.

Homework: study for roots quiz tomorrow!
