Words for Plays and Comics

What are we learning today?

You will learn action verbs, theatre words and comic words. You will use them in simple sentences.

Explanation

• Action verbs tell what people do: catch, chase, climb, hide, jump, throw.
• Some past forms are irregular: catch - caught, throw - threw, hide - hid.
• Theatre words: stage, seats, roof, audience, performer.
• Comic words: plot is the story. Inking is drawing in pen. Pencilling is drawing in pencil.
• Use "a ... is a ..." for a definition.
• Some nouns end in -er: write - writer, build - builder, perform - performer.

Examples

1. The thief climbed over a wall and ran away.
2. A panel is a square section of a comic.
3. A speech bubble is a shape that contains a character's words.

Remember!

• Do not say "catched" or "throwed". Say "caught" and "threw".
• Do not forget "a" in a definition.
