Eight and Ate: The Sprinkle Bakery

Welcome to the Sprinkle Bakery! Chef Rosie has a tray of cupcakes ready, and somebody has already eaten a treat from the little plate.

Remember: Eight is the number 8: “Chef Rosie bakes eight cupcakes.” Ate means had food, a time before now. Today I eat, yesterday I ate: “Biscuit ate a crumb.”

Magic trick: Eight starts the same way as eighteen and eighty: they are all number words. Ate is short and quick, like a snack that is gone in one bite!
