Accidents and the Body

What are we learning today?

You will learn words for accidents and body parts. You will use them in correct sentences.

Explanation

• Learn a verb with its noun: cut your finger, burn your hand, bang your head.
• Use my, her, his or your with body parts. Do not use "the".
• Body words: elbow, ankle, shoulder, neck, knee, wrist, back, chest.
• Use have or has with a past participle: She has broken her wrist.
• A compound noun has two words with one meaning. A fishing boat is a boat for fishing.

Examples

1. I have cut my finger.
2. My brother tripped over the dog and banged his knee.
3. Firewood is wood that you use to make a fire.

Remember!

• Say "I burnt my hand", not "I burnt the hand".
• After has, use the past participle: "has broken".
