Unit Review

Several words in this unit contain the -ph letter pattern: 


	telephone	pheasant	photograph
	
	metaphor	chlorophyll
The -ph letter pattern makes the f sound in all of these words. You should also notice that the -gh pattern at the end of photograph also makes the f sound.

Subject-Verb Agreement

When the subject is about more than one noun, do not add -s or -es to the verb. When the subject is about only one noun, add -s or -es to the verb. These two rules apply to regular verbs only. For irregular verbs there are no rules to help you.
