Theme: Forming Verbs From Nouns and Adjectives

Case Study: It was May 20, 1947, when an eclipse of the sun occurred. This was the first time the people of Anaka had seen the sun *darkened.

The Anaka men were at a meeting in the shrine when this happened. Everybody became greatly afraid and worried as a thick column of dark cloud suddenly covered the sun.

The people were about to go when a messenger named David stood up and said, 'We learnt in school that this is an eclipse of the sun caused by the moon's shadow on the earth. This occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun.

He had hardly finished his speech when angry voices from the crowd exclaimed:''shut up, David! We know when you were born! Are you wiser than our priest?'' With these words, the people rose up to find in the *darkness, their way home.

The asterisked words in the above passage should be observed carefully. The words represent the different part of speech.

The dark (adjective) cloud covered the sun
The sun was darkened (verb)

However, verbs can therefore be formed from adjectives or nouns. Listed below are few example (asterisks indicate adjectives; others are nouns):

Nouns and Adjectives Verbs
*able enable (to be able)
bath bathe
beauty beautify
*bright brighten
circle encircle
cloth clothe
*fat fatten
*short shorten
growth grow

“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. Robert Frost

Name: Robert Frost
Details of Birth: born in San Francisco, California, The United States March 26, 1874
Demise date: died January 29, 1963
S*x: male
Career: Author
Genre: Poetry

About Robert Frost
Flinty, moody, plainspoken in addition to heavy, Robert Frost was considered one of Our country's most favored 20th-century poets. Frost was producing in Derry, Brand-new Hampshire any time, from age 37, this individual marketed the farm, uprooted his family and migrated to The united kingdom where he committed himself to beautifully constructed wordings(Poetry).

His first two books of verse, A Boy's Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914), were immediate successes. In 1915 he returned to the United States and continued to write while living in New Hampshire and then Vermont. His pastoral images of apple trees and stone fences -- along with his solitary, man-of-few-words poetic voice -- helped define the modern image of rural New England.

Frost recited his poem "The Gift Outright" at the 1961 inauguration of John F. Kennedy... Frost attended both Dartmouth College and Harvard, but did not graduate from either school... Frost preferred traditional rhyme and meter in poetry; his famous dismissal of free verse was, "I'd just as soon play tennis with the net down."

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't...get educated and empowered...
