Simple Present third Person Review

Remember the third person singular!!!!!

ATIONS by Shel Silverstein

Ations
If we meet and I say, "Hi," 
That’s a salutation. 

If you ask me how I feel, 
That’s consideration. 

If we stop and talk awhile, 
That’s a conversation. 

If we understand each other, 
That’s communication.

If we argue, scream and fight, 
That’s an altercation. 

If later we apologize, 
That’s reconciliation. 

If we help each other home, 
That’s cooperation. 

And all these ations added up 
Make civilization. 

(And if I say this is a wonderful poem, 
Is that exaggeration?)

 - Shel Silverstein

Thank you José for bringing this poem to class.
