+To the Teacher+.--After the pupils have become thoroughly familiar with
the verb _be_ as a principal verb, teach them to use it as an auxiliary in
making the +Progressive Form+ and the +Passive Form+.

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

The _passive 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 passive
form, it is the same as in the simple.
