Grammar Lesson

My nine year old has grown fond of the word "slain" but he doesn't know the tenses. "Daddy I'm about to slain one! ... Should I slain another?" Etc.

It's too damn cute for me to correct him... he doesn't get any other words wrong that I'm aware of. Does this make me a bad dad?

Does he know how to conjugate 'to grow' and 'to know'? Because i can think of few other word with similar constructions. Even 'did' is less weird than 'grew' and 'slew'.

[DavidMedley]

Pretty sure he knows all those. They may be less confusing but they're definitely more common!

Try confusing him further: "you have grain so much since last year!"
