Some word families for you to be practising!
Look at how the endings change, and think about how
this affects the word class. For example, innocent is an
adjective, as it would describe a noun.
The innocent cat sat on the windowsill.
Innocently is an adverb, as it describes the verb:
The cat sat innocently on the windowsill.
Innocence is a noun – it’s an abstract noun that names
a feeling or state of being we can’t touch.
The cat’s innocence was clear.
This sentence shows the noun, innocence, is the name
of the feeling, and it belongs to the cat (hence the
apostrophe!

The first word in each set is the infinitive form of the word, which just means it is the
original form and that it would go with ‘to’: to sing, to ring, to fling, to bring.
The second word in each set, ending with –ing, is the present participle: is singing, is
ringing, is flinging, is bringing.
The third word in each set is the past participle (the past tense version of the word):
he sang, he rang, he flung, he brought.
Notice how the words change a lot for fling-flung and bring-brought. It is important
that we try to use the past participle when writing about things in the past tense, as
this makes our writing flow better and more active. It is easier to read than ‘was’ all
of the time:
 He was ringing home to talk to his mother.
 He rang home to talk to his mother.
The first version of the word is clumsier, harder to read, the second sentence reads
much better.
