NEW MATERIAL :  Stem Changing Verbs....


                                                              aka : BOOT VERBS
                           
                                                                 

Stem changing Verbs use the same endings as regular verbs. Stem changing Verbs are different in that a vowel (an o or an e change to ue or to ie) These changes occur in the singular persons and in the third person plural. An easier ( a more visual ) way to remember this is to call these boot verbs. We discussed all of this in class today, made a rules/notes sheet for your notebooks and did practice work at the board. If you were absent this video may help you.

and this second one is silly, but you never know what can help you remember something....

no homework tonight......
