+To the Teacher+.--After the pupils have become thoroughly familiar with the verb _be_ as a princ.i.p.al verb, teach them to use it as an auxiliary in making the +Progressive Form+ and the +Pa.s.sive Form+.

The _progressive form_ may be made by filling all the blanks with the _present participle_ of some verb.

The _pa.s.sive form_ may be made by filling all the blanks with the _past participle_ of a _transitive_ verb.

Notice that, after the past participle, no blank is left.

In the progressive form, this participle is wanting; and, in the pa.s.sive form, it is the same as in the simple.

LESSON 95.

Give the person and number of each of the following verbs, and write sentences in which each form shall be used correctly.

_Common forms_.--Does, has=ha(ve)s, is, am, are, was, were.
