For example, if one of the job titles is "teacher," the parts of speech would be noun (teacher) and noun (job title). Write down your findings in your notebook.

Activity 2: Verb Tenses
Select five different verbs related to working (e.g., work, earn, achieve, succeed, retire). Write down the present, past, and future tense forms of each verb. Use these verbs to create five sentences, each showcasing a different verb tense. Make sure to label each sentence with the appropriate verb tense.
