Me? I'm a writer now. Zseniális, ahogy az igeidők mesélik el a történetet, visznek mindenfelé. Erről szól a function része a nyelvtannak, amit ha valaki ismer, beszéli a nyelvet, ha nem, maximum egy két lábon járó szótár lehet, ami kommunikációra nagyjából képtelen. Jó gyakorlást és gyakoroltatást!
