[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474910, member: 12886"] He does sound like an esl (english as a second language) learner. Examples of kids using words like seed for saw actually show that they are learning the past tense rule and are doing a developmentally normal thing of over generalizing the rule. Prior to that in a language analysis they would only get credit for one unit of meaning for the word saw...because in early lang development words are just from memory. Once they show they know the rule they get credit for two units (word & past tense). Haven't done an evaluation and lang sampleso of course not saying for sure... Just saying from what you said out sounds like he is actually learning grammar rules and applying them across the languages...so errors will happen. But actually could be encouraging. ta! [/QUOTE]
