Words at Work: Find the One Mistake
Making the doer and the verb agree, using was with an ing word, turning describing words into ly words, and comparing two things or many the right way.
- One doer takes is, has or a verb ending in s. Many doers take are and have.
- For an action going on in the past, use was or were with an ing word.
- An ly word tells how an action was done: she sang softly.

Speak, Listen and Write about Work
Building questions with the six question words, hearing the shun sound at the end of words, naming a vocation from its tools, and writing about the hard half of a job.
- Six question words open almost every question: who, what, when, where, why and how.
- A question needs the right word order, a capital letter and a question mark.
- A question that can be answered with yes or no tells you very little.
