Define telegraphic speech, overgeneralization, and overextension (in your own words).

Overgeneralization consists of taking present events and assuming that all events after will be the same.
Overextension happens when a child uses a word in too wide of a manner.
Did you use these forms of speech in any way? How? Provide examples.
When using Telegraphic speech, I would say things like "Doggy hungry"
I overgeneralized when things like, I thought every time I rolled a ball it would come back to me.
