Pattern One

ICON + WORD ENDING. This pattern works for saying VERBS, NOUNS, ADVERBS (that end in -ly), and ADJECTIVES.

For Verbs, you choose which ending is appropriate. Your verbs are the Herb the Verb or Action Man icon. If you prefer, you can add the correct icon for the action. Your choices are buckets with the endings of +s, +ing, +ed, +en. You can also use to+verb to say the shortcut, such as TO EAT, would be icon + tp bucket. Verbs are green in color.

For Nouns, you can choose either singular or plural nouns. Nouns are the Old Mother Hubbard icon. Most nouns will appear in the acivity row, but CORE nouns will appear by hitting the ICON first for our pattern. Singular, you will notice she only has one thing in the cupboard. Plural, there are more items in the cupboard. They are Orange in color.

For Adverbs, you will notice that a lot of them end in -ly. This is the plane pulling the -ly banner. Adverbs are a light blue color.

For Adjectives, you have a choice of 3 forms. They are the paintbrush icon, because like a paint brush paints a picture and adds color, adjectives PAINT a picture and describe words to help paint a picture in your head. For Example, you can choose hungry, hungrier, or hungriest, to tell me how hungry you were at breakfast time.
