Lesson 29

Instructions for Lesson 29

Review the pronunciation and spelling patterns for compound, two-syllable, short-vowel words.

A noun is a word that refers to a person, place, or thing. A verb is a word that indicates action or a state of being. Hint: If the compound word is a noun, its first syllable is accented. If it is a verb, the second syllable is accented. Notice this with address (a noun: a place someone lives) and address (a verb: to give a speech).
