Grammar help- two quick questions for medal! 1. The cat ____ (drank, drunk) all of its milk. 2. Which part of speech is honesty?
CORRECTION! On number 1, it's "The cat has___ (drank, drunk) all of its milk." i forgot Has
@sammixboo
Read the sentence with 'drank' then with 'drunk' Which one makes the most sense? If that doesn't help, let me know
So, it's drank?
Not quite. Try saying it outloud again
It's quite confusing actually. I have no idea the proper way to say it. In different areas, people may say it differently
Yeah, this is one of the few things about grammar that confuses me. I'm actually one of the best in my class when it comes to this, but I forgot everything I learned in sixth grade, and now, in 8th grade, they're not teaching us what to do anymore but just jumping back in after two years of basically no grammar.
Exactly, haha
See I would say drunk, but my friend said drank
Drunk was my best guess, but for some reason drank sounded better to me. Thank you so much for clarifying! But what about the second question? do you have an answer for that
Oh, pfft. I didn't even know there was a second question. Give me a sec
It's an adjective, right? or is it something else that I completely forgot?
Well, you know the different part of speeches, right?
Not quite
We have a verb, noun, adjective, etc.
Think of honesty. Is it a person? Thing? Place?
hmm... not sure.
It's a thing :) THat can give ya a hint
noun?
Right! It's easily confused with others, but it is a noun
that's weird. i thought it was a descriptive word, but i did have a little suspicion.
well, thank you so much! you really helped!
No problem!
Whenever you see the verb "have " in any of its forms (have, has, having, had), be sure that the verb that follows it is in the past participle form
Drunk is the past participle of drink Drank is the past version of drink
So that outta help with your 1st question
Ah, yes! I KNEW it had something to do with the word had!
yes @sammixboo !
yes, thanks, both of you! Later!
no problem @TheMetalHead :)
