The nouns are blue.
The pronouns are green.
The verbs are red.

  1. The man walked to the store.
  2. I know that man.
  3. His name is Michael.     <<< “his” is a “possessive pronoun”.
  4. Michael bought a book.
  5. Michael likes it.
  6. I read.
  7. That book has many pages.
  8. Michael likes to read.
  9. Reading is fun.     <<<  +ing makes a verb into a noun!
  10. Mr. David wrote this very long sentence, but it has only one pronoun.
  11. Please drive the car to the shop.
  12. Take them to the shop.
  13. Please drive slowly!
  14. After you go to the shop, drive to school.
  15. We drive to work every day.  <<< Here, “work” is a noun!  It is a place.
  16. They gave us pizza.
  17. It was delicious!
  18. We gave them some water.
  19. We wanted water because the pizza was hot.
  20. They wanted ice cream, so you bought ice cream for them.

The black words have names also.
We will learn them later.

BRB = I will Be Right Back!

One boy walks, two girls run.  There is something good to know here!

If 1 thing   >>> no S >>>  1 boy, 1 girl, 1 car, 1 book

If 2 or 3 or 1000 things   >>> +S  >>> 2 boys, 3 girls, 10 cars, 1000 books


But, when you make a sentence, remember   1  S!    Not 0, not 2!

The boy walk.      😩 bad.  no S

The boy walks.    🏆 good.  1 S        👦  🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

The girls runs.  😩 bad.   2 S

The girls run.    🏆 good.  1 S         👧👧👧👧  🏃‍♀️


Wow, that is strange.

It is not  👦  🏃‍♂️

It is not  👧👧👧👧  🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Remember, 1 S !

Is & a letter?

No.  It means “and”.

It is like +

1 + 1 = 2

1 & 1 is 2

You see it on signs, like at this store:

In America, we like to eat mac & cheese.

These are good words.  They help you learn.

Can we make dinner?  I can help you make it.

🍚  +  🍗 +  🍅 + 🍳   =  dinner

Dinner with friends makes me happy.
👨🏻 👩🏽 👴🏼 👵🏼 +  🍽️ 🍽️ 🍽️ 🍽️ = 😊

Why makes with “s” ?   You learned to + S for he, she, and it.
Dinner with friends makes me happy
Dinner makes me happy.
It makes me happy.


Give me 1, 2, 3.  I will make 6.
I + 2 + 3 = 6.
I x 2 x 3 = 6.  🤓


⚠️ Warning  ⚠️    (  Yes, Mr. David likes making warnings.  🙄  )

We say “made” for yesterday (or last week, or last year).    Not “maked”.

I made a cake yesterday.
She made rice.
They made new friends.

It “made” for all people.  I made.  He made.  She made.  It made.  You made, we made, and they made.


Are you sad?  😢
This will make you happy !  😀
The show is called “Make Me Laugh”.
If they do NOT make her laugh, she gets money.
😐 = 💰💰💰
😂 = 💸

Make or makes?  Run or runs?  Help!


I see this in many verbs.   <<< verb = action   🚴 🏋️ ⛹️

I, you, we, they:   no “s”

I ride a bike.  You drive a car.  They take a bus.  We go to work.

He, she, it:   + “s”

She rides a bike.  It moves fast.
He takes a bus. It goes slow.     <<<  ⚠️ NOT “gos”  😬

Remember this trick!  It is 99% good.

I think.  She thinks.
You want.  He wants.
We say.  She says.
I smell something. It smells bad.   😝

I sell bread.  She sells seashells by the sea shore.  👩🏪 🐚🐚🐚 🏖️
That is very hard to say!!!

If you think hard, you can get an idea. 🤔🤔🤔 💡

I think I will teach this word today.

🤔 means “think”.

I think it will rain today.
She thinks it will rain.
What do you think?

They think the football match will be fun.
We think it will be fun.
What do you think?

⚠️  WARNING!  It is a strange verb.  ⚠️

Yesterday, EVERYONE thought it would be sunny.

UGH!  I do not like “gh” words!  😝
Do not say the “gh”.   Say it like “thot”.

He thought the pot was hot.
I thought it was not.

For yesterday, it is the same word for all:  I thought, he thought, she thought, you thought, we thought, they thought.  Cool!   😎


Do you know what this is?  💭

It is a thought.

The word “thought” can be a noun.    <<<  noun = thing

When you think, a thought is in your head. 🤔 💭

A thought can be sad. A thought can be happy.
I hope you have happy thoughts now.  Bye!

Go is an easy word, but there is something not easy.

Are you ready for the hard part?  OK.   1… 2… 3… GO!

Warning!  ⚠️

If it was yesterday, you say “went”.  Do not say “goed” 😬


I want to go to the store..

Why?  You went to the store yesterday.  And, you went to the store this morning!  If you keep going to the store, you will have no money.  💸

OK.  I will wait. I will go next week.


I go.
He goes. She goes. It goes.
We go.  You go. They go.


If it is now, the word is going.   This is not hard.

I am going.
He is going.  She is going.  It is going.
We are going.  You are going.  They are going.

Tomorrow, I will go, he will go, and they will go.  Everyone will go!


Yesterday  –>  the word is the same for all.  It is went.

I went.
He went.  She went.  It went.
We went.  You went.  They went.


So, just remember two words.  Go and went.

Going is like other words.  Driving, running, eating, sleeping, talking.  No problem!  👍

Here is a song by Raffi.  He says “Thanks” many times.  Listen and read.

Thanks  =  Thank you

Thanks a lot  =  Thank you very much  =   I give you many thanks

When my children were small, they liked Raffi. I like him too.  It makes me happy to hear a Raffi song now.
