~ Briefly ~

The first of two fun, experimental videos where I’m playing with features English lacks and has. This time we’ll take a look at some grammatical skills that English might consider unlocking:

– reduplication
– distributive numerals
– politeness
– predicative adjectives
– question particles and interrogative word order
– copula vs locative be
– weather verbs
– instrumentals vs comitatives
– clusivity
– evidentials

Thank you for watching!
