Basic Verb Endings

NOTE: The videos for this click pick are in my "old" format that uses lots of memory. I recommend that you

1. First, save this page by clicking on "Save As" under "File" above. You might want to create a folder under "My Documents" just for click picks like these.

2. Second, right click on one of the three video options below, then click on "Save target as." Save it to the same location as you saved the basic page. If you want to save memory and don't mind slightly less quality, pick the mp4 version.

3. Finally, after everything is downloaded and saved, you can watch them at your leisure without it shutting your browser down.

Future click picks will use a format that takes less memory. The videos eat up massive amounts of memory, so after one or two of them, you will want to burn them on a CD.

The first person is when the verb has the perspective of the speaker or speakers ("I" or "we")
