Grammar: Verbs #1

Note: On the sidebar there is a gadget called "Grammar Notebook". Click on the link -- you should go to a page on your Google Docs. You can paste the lesson onto the doc (this one has been done already) and then go ahead and mark what the lesson says to mark. For example, on this lesson you are supposed to mark the verb -- you can put it in bold font, or change its color, or something like that.

Let me know if there are any problems doing this!
