How to Dunk
First, you get some gravy,
Then pour it in a bowl.
When you’re sure it’s nice and warm,
Find yourself a roll.
Then, you dunk that piece of bread
And you take a bite.
If you dunk and eat this way,
You’re doing it just right!

5. Root Words; Endings –ed, -ing
• Remember yesterday when we talked
about: The rabbits jump. The verb jump is
the root word and tells what the rabbits do.
When we add –ing to jump, the word
jumping tells us that something is
happening now. When we add –ed to
jump, the word jumped tells us that the
rabbits jumped in the past.

6. Root Words; Endings –ed, -ing
When a base word has a final e, the e must
be dropped when the ending –ed or –ing
is added.
What happens to the final e in bake when it
is changed to baked and baking?
1. Bake + ed= Baked Bake + ing= Baking

8. Root Words; Endings –ed, -ing
