She had a very difficult life, but she also contributed to making the world a better place for women and artists. She also loved her country. In my paragraph, I write: Frida es (SER/1/Origin) from Coyocoán, México. You will need to code each sentence right after using the verb SER or ESTAR, like I did. First, the verb you are using in all capitals. Second, the sentence number of the particular verb you are using (at times you may use the same tendency twice, so the number will be the same). Thirdly, you will label the tendency (Remember the acronyms DOCTOR and PLACE).
