How the lesson starts: Use Verbs and Agreement

  1. Tiko's lily pad

    Hi friend! Meet Tiko the frog. Tiko loves action words. A verb is an action word. Hop! Swim! But a verb has to match who is doing it. Let's hop in!

  2. S or no S?

    He hops. She runs. It jumps. Tiko sings. He, she, it, or one name? Add an S. Now listen. They hop. We run. I jump. The frogs sing. No S for them!

  3. Let's pick the right one

    Which sounds right? The frogs swims. The frogs swimming. The frogs swim. Frogs is more than one. So no S. And swimming needs a helper like are. The frogs swim. That one sounds right!
