 Mr. Maru

							| Please, accept my deepest apologies! 
 |  
							| How do you do my beloved colleagues all over the world? 
 I would like to apologize with the 233 people who downloaded my last wk, WHAT DID THEY DO, this past April 6th and 7th.
 
 I was just working with it in class and one of my students asked me WHAT the PAST TENSE of the verb "FLIGHT" WAS. I told her that "FLIGHT" wasn �t a verb. That it was JUST a NOUN. But she told me, a little upset, the verb FLIGHT was is the WK I had just handed out to her. I saw the wk and I felt ashamed. I apologized and I took the decision to come here and do the same.
 
 So please, sorry about that!
  
 Best Regards!

							| But pay attention, because it has a specific use (BE) in sports. But also, don �t feel ashamed. Teachers make mistakes, too!

							| What if you say: 
 The bird took flight.
 
 or
 
 The bird took flight and headed south.

							| Pinky, in your example, "took" is the verb, and "flight" is still a noun.   Bruce |  12 Apr 2011

							| The bird started to make flight and headed south...... Does this also mean the example word "started" is the the verb, and the "flight" is still a noun. REDBULL GIVES YOU WINGS YOU KNOW  . |  12 Apr 2011
