Hihihi….it’s my home work, my beautiful teacher Tara taught me about these words : Scare and scared. I’m still confused, so if I have mistakes (again) then…please give me some rods. Surely, I will remember them at once..lol…lol…
Here, I use the word “Scare” as a Noun. So what am I scare? : Ghost, Snake…hahaha…I don’t scare them. But I feel a little “scared” with a worm. I don’t know why …maybe because of its soft, ugly and I get allergic to its hairs. In my garden, my hubby is planting some fruits: water-apple, lemon, chilly…..and he always takes some worms. He knows what scares me and occasionally teases me. He puts it to my face, and describes the worm as a pet: look, honey, the skin is very nice but there are some wrinkles, maybe it looks like you –old...(hhhhh) and I’m sure it has one thing which like you the most”. Now, friends, look at my picture and guess what he is talking about. OK, I will tell you in the end of my blog.
Scared – Adjective. My eldest daughter is a very scared girl. Till now, she dares not to sleep in her room alone. I remember, one day, it was late and I heard someone to knocked on the door. I opened it and saw her in tears. She said: “mom, let me in. there is a Ghost in my room”. I felt funny and asked her: “where is it”? She said: “She’s gone, I tell her (female ghost): go away, if not, my mom comes and throw you. That time, you will be dead” hahaha….she said like that because she thought : she - and also that Ghost- is in the fourth floor. If I throw her down…surely, that Ghost will be dead..lol..lol..lol….
Now, ghost scared me (hahaha…means: Ghost ran away from me). Maybe, sometimes, she wanna come back my house, but she thinks: “there is a “scary Ghost woman – Mitran”. So the best way is stay away from her….
My Teachers, I know my level of English is still poor. I’m trying to learn it everyday. But please give me a time. I’m old and my brain has not any “empty places” for studying. I need to arrange all things in there. Hope, it will have a small place…^_^
P/s: about his joking…hahaha…he talks about my body. I and this worm have the same body. No waist….

Hi Mitran,
Thanks for taking up my challenge! I think you are still a little bit confused, but that's okay! We'll keep working on these words.
TIP #1
@Expector left a good comment The words "timid" is better when talking about someone's nature in general:
1. My daughter is timid. She didn't want to go to school on the first day.
2. My son is timid. He doesn't like talking to adults.
Use "scared" for a more specific fear:
1. My daughter is scared of snakes. (My daughter is afraid/terrified of snakes.)
2. My daughter is scared of the dark. (My daughter is afraid of the dark.)
We often use scared to say that we were scared/frightened by something:
1. I was scared at the end of the movie. (The end of the movie was really scary.)
2. There was a loud thunderstorm last night. I was scared. (I was scared by the thunder.)
In your last blog you wrote:
"I scared ghosts."
This means the ghosts ran away from you!
In this post your correctly wrote the "ghosts scared me". (But I don't think you understood the meaning. This doesn't mean the ghosts ran away. This means YOU ran away from the ghosts.)
TIP #2
As an active verb, "scare" means you make someone else feel afraid.
I jumped out of the closet and scared my sister. She screamed.
Don't scare the baby. Talk quietly.
TIP #3
When talking about an everyday fear, you can write or say:
"Ghosts scare me." OR "Dogs scare me." (This means, "I am afraid of these things.")
TIP #4
The word "scare" as a noun is not very common. It is often used with medical situations.
1. We had a scare this weekend. Our dog stopped breathing.
Homework Challenge #2
Write 10 sentences using "scare" in a variety of ways (noun, verb, adjective). You can do it in the comments here.
Hehe, you see, I made at least one mistake in my comment already, it should be "...mistakes help us learn faster..." :)
Agreed with Noas! It's never boring reading your blogs :D
It takes gut to come up with blogs, knowing there are still mistakes and asking for corrections. But that's the beautiful part of MyEC: we're here to help each other :) I'd say mistakes help we learn faster because I experienced that for myself. So, in short, I encourage you to keep making mistakes!
Please read the definitions and specially the examples in following links and I hope you won't be confused about the "scare" family anymore:

BTW, in the title, it's "homework" as one word not two separated words :)
Good job! The word "scared" can be so tricky. You could say "your daughter is timid or a timid girl" or "your daughter is scared of snakes".
Try to read Tara's comment again.
LOL Mitran. I always laugh when reading your blogs. They are always funny.
