Hey there, jarron jones. They make me think of tiny jer bills for some reason. While jer bowls are kind of cute little animals that people sometimes mistake for hamsters, jaron czar announced that people sometimes mistake for verbs because while depending on the context, they can be used either as verbs or hamsters. I mean now towns, by the way, jarrod's can also be mistaken for participles but never mind that. For now we'll get to participles in the next video in the end. Being able to determine the connotation of words in text not only helps us understand those words, but also helps us understand better the author's purpose, the type of attitude a writer wishes us to have or the overall meaning of the passage itself. Now go read some tasty texts, you've got this reader the other day, A friend of mine said I had a unique sense of humor and she used the air quotes. So I looked the word unique up in the dictionary and one synonym was singular or one of a kind, but another synonym for unique was strange. Huh? I'm guessing her use of the word unique knotes. One of a kind. Woo hoo. Anyway, you remember that when we talk about meaning of words, we typically make a distinction between Dean notation and connotation. Hey, reader, when you were little, I bet your favorite question was why? And that was it. But now that you're an adolescent, all kinds of people expect you to be just a wee bit more detailed when it comes time to ask a good question. So go on and do whatever you need to do to get yourself into a nice interrogative mood.
