Most legends have a historical base.    A legend can be a supernatural beings, elements of mythology, or explanations of natural  phenomena, but they pertain to a particular person or place and they are told as a tradition.    Legends were used in the past to explain things in a particular way. Legends were mostly told and scarcely written until later.    Example: The Beetle The beetle is not killed by the people for the following reason: they have a tradition that one day the chief priests sent messengers in every direction to look for the Lord Jesus, and they came to a field where a man was reaping, and asked him-- "Did Jesus of Nazareth pass this way?" "No," said the man, "I have not seen him." "But I know better," said a little clock running up, "for He was here to-day and rested, and has not long gone away." "That is false," said a great big black. beetle, coming forward; "He has not passed since yesterday, and you will never find Him on this road; try another." So the people kill the clock because he tried to betray Christ; but they spare the beetle and will not touch him, because he saved the Lord on that day.   What is the characteristics of a legend?    __ fantasy   __ realistic   __ magical   __ dramatical   __ actual

	Grammar: Linking Verbs    A verb that connects the subject of the sentence to a word or words that describes the subject is called a linking verb. The sentence structure below is used with linking verbs. Subject Linking Verb           Information about the subject (noun) (verb) (adjective, noun, or another complement) These verbs are always linking verbs.    to be:              Example: The wheel is blackened.    to become:    Example: The caterpillar became a butterfly.    to seem:         Example: The sheet seems dry now. A way to determine if the verb works as an action verb or as a linking verb is to substitute the verb with the word is or some other form of the verb be. The verb is a linking verb if the sentence still makes sense. The verb most likely is an action verb is the sentence doesn't make sense.   Write the linking verbs in the sentences.    _____________ 1. The wheel is golden.    _____________ 2. The cake taste delicious.    _____________ 3. The girl is brave.    _____________ 4. I am sleepy.    _____________ 5. The man grew silent.   The Verb "Be"   "Be" is the most irregular verb in the English language and normally a linking verb that conditions the subject. When a sentence has "be" as the main verb it follows three structures. be + noun                                       Example: Philip is an actor. be + an adjective                           Example: Sharlene is witty.  be + a prepositional phrase         Example: The girl is at the ranch.  Be is also used an auxiliary verb when forming the progressive tense and the passive voice.    Example: Sophia is writing a poem. (Is functions as an auxiliary verb and the word writing as the main verb)   Form   Simple Present Tense Simple Past Tense Present Perfect Tense Singular   I am you are he, she, it is   I was you were he, she, it was   I have been you have been he, she, it has been   Plural   we, you, they are   we, you, they were   we, you, they have been

	Write the verb "be" in each sentence.    ___________ 1. The island was called Hawaii.    ___________ 2. The dogs were all scared.    ___________ 3. Something is coming out of the darkness.    ___________ 4. There was no salt found anywhere in the kitchen.    ___________ 5. The people were ready for things to settle down.   The Present Progressive Tense Present progressive tense is the idea that an action is happening during a specified time.    Example: Something is coming out of the woods. The subject (something) is performing the action (coming) at the same time the sentence is expressed. The structure used for sentences using present progressive tense are the verb to be + a verb in the -ing form. This chart shows examples of some basic rules for the spelling of the present progressive tense form. Verbs that end with a vowel followed by a consonant One-syllable Verbs      stop           stopping   Two-syllable Verbs      listen         listening   Verbs that end with two consonants    prevent     preventing Verbs that end with the letter -y    study         studying     Finish the sentences with the present progressive tense of the verb in parenthesis.    1. He (write) _________________ his father a note.    2. They (clean) _________________ his house.    3. I (try) _________________ to finish my chores on time.    4. The narrator (tell) __________________ a great tale.    5. We (learn) ___________________ how myths came to exist.   Finish the sentences with the correct form of the verb "be".    1. She ______________ there last week.    2. I ______________ considering helping you.    3. You ______________ writing something next week.    4. I ______________ a diesel mechanic.    5. He _______________ the best at wind surfing.   Writing: The Conclusion    A closing sentence or conclusion is the closing part of your paragraph or essay and should be the best part of your writing.    Conclusions do three things. - Show the importance of the topic sentence. - Establish a sense of completeness to your writing. - Make a final impression on the reader before they finish reading your material.   Remember, the conclusion should have more supporting information than the topic sentence to be written correctly.
