| Lesson 2 — Grammatical Topic 2 — Assembling a simple sentence | |
|
| Now you know enough to put together a simple sentence in Samala. | |
| Start with: | a verb plus the person marker s– |
| add: | a noun with the article ha — It's ha here because this noun is not the first element in the sentence. |
| The most common word order is that the verb comes first. | |
 |
