getting ready for 10 grade English

Good morning ya all

I am looking through the teacher key of the ABEKA 10th grade grammar.  Unit 1 and 2 look pretty easy to go through with my daughter. Then Unit 3 there is a grammar review.

Unit 4 is about run-on sentences.  Welp that's what I do everyday so Unit 4 and I will have to have come to Jesus meeting.

Oh boy here comes some of my favorite parts in unit 5.  I had no Idea that verbs had some principal parts. Sounds like I need to refresh my Biology or I thought a verb was a verb was a verb .Okie dokie then.  Book says that all verbs may be classified as regular or irregular verbs, depending on the way the past and past participle are formed.
Sounds like personal problem to me. 

Next the book talks about what mood a verb is in. My goodness I didn't know that verbs had so much power in my life. 

Oh dear I am looking at Unit 7 . Now they talk about Antecedents of masculine gender,feminine gender,neuter gender, and common gender.  Boy this sounds more like science than English and all the gender stuff.

Well I just flipped over to Unit 15.  This talks about Informal and Formal Engish.  I had no idea that I have been talking careless speech all this time. uhmm  book says Nonstandard Engish makes an individual appear uneducated.  Boy now that should make my student feel good.

Enough about English and you can tell it's not on favorite subject.

until next time my friends.  Don't let nonstandard Engish make you feel uneducated
