Flashcards

Why use "ran" instead of "run"?

A verb is a word that describes an action or state of being. The tense of a verb tells us when the action happened. "Run" is a verb, and we need to use the past tense, "ran", because the action happened in the past.

Why use "running and shouting" instead of "run and shout"?

A phrase is a group of words with a specific meaning. We need to use the past tense form of the verbs "run" and "shout" because the action happened in the past.

Why use "they" instead of "it"?

Pronouns replace nouns. "It" or "they" will work as the pronoun in this sentence. We need the pronoun "they" because the waves are the subject of the sentence.

Why use "to play" instead of "playing"?

The word "play" is a verb that means to engage in an activity for enjoyment. We need to use the infinitive form, "to play", because it follows the verb "want".
