<\/div>\n
Remember these sit and set tips:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Sit has an I\u2014and I alone can do it (it is not done TO something else).<\/span><\/li>\n
      \n
    1. I sit down.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Yesterday I sat down.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Before that I had sat down.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
      <\/div>\n
        \n
      1. Sit means to recline or lower down to a sitting position\u2014anybody or anything can sit, as long as it does it by itself (i.e. it is NOT set)<\/span><\/li>\n
          \n
        1. The chair sits in the corner empty, missing its owner.<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. She sat there and pouted all afternoon.<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. They are sitting down in protest.<\/span><\/li>\n
        4. She has sat there in tears all day.<\/span><\/li>\n
        5. They are sitting in the parlor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
          <\/div>\n
          <\/div>\n
            \n
          1. Set does not have an I\u2014it is done TO something.<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Set must have an object following it\u2014something that it is setting.<\/span><\/li>\n
              \n
            1. Set the table.<\/span><\/li>\n
            2. Set the baby down in her seat.<\/span><\/li>\n
            3. God set the stars in the sky.<\/span><\/li>\n
            4. Set the book on the counter.<\/span><\/li>\n
            5. We will be setting up decorations at noon.<\/span><\/li>\n
            6. The jello still needs to set . (It’s like you are saying to set the jello!)<\/span><\/li>\n
            7. She sets the table as though a king is coming.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
              <\/div>\n
                \n
              1. Set is the same base word for all of its tenses: set; set; set; sets; setting. That is why I recommend teaching this Wacky Word pair first (of the three).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                <\/div>\n
