wrapping verbs for now with a quiz

We can change the form of a verb.

These changes can be referred to as conjugations.


For example, a verb can have an 's' added to it as in eat, 'eats' or run, 'runs'.

Other changes could be eating, ate, or eaten for the verb 'eat'.  

Run could be changed to running or 'ran'.
