A note on the end of a fishing pole to get him to com outside
I'm not really sure what you need in this sentence. Is it a verb? Do you
need to find the appropriate tense? If so, here is how I would do it:
Since the rise of his designs, Frank Lloyd Wright has been/has become an icon of modern architecture.
You
should use the present perfect tense because this is an action that
began in the past, but is still applicable in the present.
Answer:
1. A verb and a subject must both be plural or singular.
2. Perfect tense is used to indicate a completed action or condition. Continuous tense is used to indicate an action that is, was, or will be in progress at a certain time.
3. Auxiliary verbs are sometimes refereed to as helping verbs because they help form the various tenses, moods, and voices of other verbs.
4. Most infinitives will begin with the word <u>to</u>.
Both Colin and Mary are greatly changed by their friendship in The Secret Garden.
At the beginning of the novel, Colin is so sickly he cannot get out of bed. He keeps the curtains closed and believes the light will make him worse. All he does all day is lie in bed and cry and complain. After becoming friends with Mary (and later Dickon), however, he changes. He learns to run and play outside. He realizes he is not sick like he has always believed. He becomes kinder to others and becomes truly happy.
Mary also changes greatly as a result of her friendship with Colin and Dickon. At the start of the novel, Mary is mean and unkind. She is rude to others and has no friends. Once she makes friends, however, she begins to change. She makes attachments to others and comes to love Martha and Dickon. She loves to play with others and helps Colin reach his full potential.
Friendship changed the both of them. Once lonely and unhappy, they are happy and fulfilled by the end of the book.
