To talk in ebonics, first start with the vocabulary. Many African American Vernacular English (AAVE) words and expressions have entered the wider lexicon, such as "clown" for "act foolishly" and "jam" for "happening." AAVE is characterized by grammatical patterns such as drop verbs, which occur when certain auxiliary and modal verbs drop from the sentence. For example, the drop verb "gin" can be used to talk about "being" or "having": "They ain't gin no money so they can't afford it." Other grammatical patterns include reduplication and hypercorrection, such as the word "doz" or "dose" to mean "some," or putting an "ing" on the end of words, such as "singing," for a continual action.
