Grammar once a week

write the name we use for things he pointed to?
reet-tree
kobo-book 
tribba-rabbit 
pleap-apple 
rast- star 
poson-spoon 
blate-table 
tofo-foot  

The names we call different things are called nouns 

Spaced-out sentences 
Gorf was a super-intelligent being and quickly learned to speak our language. But when he wrote down some facts about this planet, we found them difficult to read, (he didn't use any spaces!)

Rewrite the sentence Gorf said, leaving spaces between the words.

1. The sky on planet Haret is pink.
2,  The Haretians live underground.
3.  Children only go to school once a week.
4. The cars on Haret have square wheels.

sentence is a group of words telling something that makes sense. Write a sentence telling something about the planet you live on. Remember a sentence starts with capital letters and ends with a full stop.
ThechildrenheregotoschooleveryMondaytoFriday. = The children here go to school every Monday to Friday.

Rhyme time
If you look closely. you will see that the words Gorf spoke can be rearranged to make the words we use.     e.g    blate - table   gort - frog   Haret - Earth
These are called anagrams - swapping the letters of a word around to make a new word.

Can you work out some more of Gorf's words? You will find that each set of words rhyme.

Keow = woke                       
Nagg = gang 

Komes = smoke                  Gnaf = fang 
Olack = clock                       Yehon = honey
Kaos = soak                         Fyunn = funny
Kepo = poke                        yomen = money
Gans = sang                        nurny = runny
Gran = rang                         
Yunns = sunny   

Gnab = bang                      

Moving on: Introducing 
Elephant: Hi. I'm here to help you remember the things you need to know about grammar. Whenever you see me, please READ, THINK and REMEMBER.

1.) Kepo
2.) Fyunn
3.) Keow
4.) Yomen
