~ 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!
