Last time we met skills English is missing compared to other languages, now it’s time for what it does have:
– (its spelling system)
– suppletive ordinals
– obligatory plurals
– definite and indefinite articles
– possession with “have”
– perfect with “have”
– passive voice
– asymmetric noun-pronoun alignment
– particle comparative with “than”
– interdental fricatives
– rhotics
– r-colored vowels (ahem, “coloured”)
– nounless adjectives with “one”
