Andrew, can you record the closing prices for our stocks for the past week?
ReplyDeleteSo, if i am correct, our hw is: a page in the wkbk, revolutionary war thing due wed., human body packet, and study for verb test correct?
ReplyDeletebye
Sure, colin. I'm on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks sooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou are right andrew
ReplyDeleteMr. Buxton when i try to listen to what i spoke about on the Voki it pauses constantly! Will it do it when i post it?
ReplyDeleteWhen's the human body thing due?
ReplyDeletewendsday colin
ReplyDeleteand also the Voki wont let me publish it
ReplyDeleteWell since my Vokis not working i am just going to say Congratulations to Andrew & Thomas for winning Patrick Henrey adn for Humanities Homework remember to work on studying for tommorows test-Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge, Bob's your uncle~ Cand you conjugate "to be" in past present & future? Use the showing not telling link also for your historical writing.
ReplyDeleteno it won't .. give the voki about 5mins to load when you first open it. after you press edit, record, then press save, then press publish. Try one more time if you can. Speak very slowly and try it a couple of times. It sometimes works bad to begin with and then improves.
ReplyDeleteMr. Buxton is there a limit to the number of pages for the magazine?
ReplyDelete2 for one person gauruv.
ReplyDeleteBe there tomorrow?
I wrote 5 pages so I guess I have a LOT of delting to do. I'll probably be there tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMy paper is not even 1 page
ReplyDeleteIf you were to conjugate I would it be : I did eat, I am eating, and i will be eating! Please tell me!
ReplyDeleteif you have so many pages then you probably haven't selected a good template where there is room for lots of writing. Don't delete anything yet until i look at it
ReplyDeletebekah, instead of "i did eat" u could say "i ate". but besides that, i think u r good!
ReplyDeletecolin: urgent. i have the stocks that my dad suggested, but only YOU have the awesome penny stocdks that you found.
ReplyDeleteIF YOU READ THIS ARTICLE, PLEASE RECORD THOSE STOCKS!
Bekah - You can only conjugate a verb not a pronoun- you use pronouns to help conjugate verbs. The verb is what changes. The pronouns are just there to help recognize the different voices
ReplyDeleteyou example is conjugating the verb: eat
= I ate, I eat, I will eat
Unfortunately, we will not reach out tenses unit this year, 'which would have been' the final piece in the grammar puzzle. The above are just the simple forms of the tenses. Look at the llink on the right side of the blog, it shows how all verbs are conjugated ni all tenses.
Okay, Thank yOu Mr. Buxton, an sorry my Voki did not work. I did exactly what you told me to do but it just wouldn't save!
ReplyDeleteIsnt looked-linking correct since its a sense? the website says its incorrect~
ReplyDeleteClaire looked at all of the questions on the exam.
• looked-linking
• looked-action (
LInking Bekah
ReplyDeleteLooked in this context is a action verb because she is looking at the questions.
ReplyDeletePEOPLES! Can u replace "looked" w/was/is/? LET'S SEE!
ReplyDeleteClaire was at all the problems on the exam.
Claire is at all the problems on the exam.
Do they work? it is questionable because you COULD say "she is on problem 5 in the exam", but you CANNOT say "she is at all the problems in the exam, therefore, LOOKED IS AN ACTION VERB IN THAT CONTEXT!
ADIOS!
I love this site for finding rich descriptive words!
