Battle: A Conversation With Luke
The Battle Over Battle….
- Me: Luke, you know your homework has to be answered in complete sentences.
- Luke: It is.
- Me: “The battle at Trenton.” is not a complete sentence.
- Luke: Yes it is!
- Me: What is the subject?
- Luke: Battle.
- Me: What is the verb?
- Luke (hesitantly): At?
- Me: At is not a verb.
- Luke: Battle.
- Me: Battle is not the verb.
- Luke: It is too a verb!!
- Me (sighing): Battle can be either a noun or a verb. A single use of the word battle cannot be both the subject and the verb at the same time! ::headdesk::
