When we are writing and reading, we need to understand that
meaning of the words that we are putting out there. Whether it be accept the
invitation or except for the fact. I think the one word that I struggled most
was when I was a kid would have been bail and bale. That is due to the fact
that I helped my brothers retrieving the hay for our horses. I would write
stories in school about it all the time. I remember getting it wrong every time
during the whole story, that made me feel really dumb.
The rest of the reading was very helpful as well because my
use of past tense for a lot of words has been pretty bad. The one word that
really sticks out to me is hang because I always felt that it was “hung” in
every instance. I don’t think it once ever crossed my mind that it could be
hanged, but now I know.
My Mistakes:
This comes from the example that was just given because I
was teaching a class at my church this past Sunday. One of the kids said that
he had seen a movie were a man had been hung. I was about to tell him that it
was hanged when another kid said that he had said it wrong. He explained to the
other kid it was hanged and that he had learned that in the fourth grade. That
made me feel really dumb.
