Kavi's Word Team
"Every sentence is a little team," said Kavi. "A noun names who or what — like dog or Maya. A verb is the action — like run or sing. An adjective describes a noun — like big or happy. And an adverb tells how, when or where — like quickly or today. The big dog runs quickly! Four jobs, one team. Let's spot them with me!"
