Project

You know Dash and Dance and Prance and Saunter,

Shuffle and Slither and Stumble and Wander, but do you recall
The most famous verb of all..

To Be the puzzling verb

Its the most irregular
And if you get to know it
You will see it here and there
Unlike those other verbs
Be is hard to con- ju- gate
But if you learn its tenses
Through this class youll surely skate
Am, is, are, was, were, be, been
Theyre the forms to know
If you conjugate these right
Your grammar skills are out of sight
Then all your teachersll love you
They will shout out with glee,
You are the perfect students
You know how to use To Be!
