Next, we'll read through the Featured Story for this lesson: La Bicicleta. This story focuses on a personal childhood experience.
Try to use the pictures to interpret and infer meanings from the text. While reading, try to identify different parts of speech within the story as well, determining, or guessing, which words are nouns and which are verbs.
In this section, we'll begin a more focused practice on nouns and verbs.
Working through these activities, we will gain better familiarty with nouns and verbs used within the story, as well as grammatical explanations for their implementation.
