examples) (example in arabic: kataba (He wrote), katabat (She wrote))
Does the verb ending change for tense (example: I am, I was, I will be, I have been, I
will have been, I had been) (Present, past, future, present perfect, future perfect, pluperfect tenses used
respectively)
Does the verb ending change based on mood (example: I was at the store, I wouldnt do
that if I were you)
(Indicative and subjunctive used)
Does the verb change for voice (is the object doing the action or is the subject doing the
action) (Example 1: I killed the man, The man was killed by me) (Active and Passive voices used)
(Example 2: I shaved (myself), We shaved each other) (reflexive and reciprocal used)
Is there a separate form for quoting other people
d. Do nouns, pronouns, and adjectives decline (change based on meaning of the sentence)
If so:
What forms will be marked?
I met him (I is the subject and him is the direct object)
He met me (now He is the subject and me is the direct object)
I gave him the book (I is the subject, him is the indirect object and the book is the
direct object)
Common forms in english:
Subject: This performs the verb (I am cool)
Direct object: this is directly affected by the verb (I hit him)
Indirect object: this is indirectly affected by the verb (I gave him a book or I gave a book
to him)
You can combine the direct and indirect objects like in english if you so desire.
possessive: shows possession of an object (This is my door)
Other common forms that appear:
Location: where something is located (I am at the movies)
Movement: Shows movement from the location (I went to the movies)
Instrument: shows use of something (I wrote this questionnaire with a computer)
Direct Address: When someone is directly addressed (Hey you)

Other forms are less common are used in place of prepositions, but they are rare and are very large in
numbers. So just decide if you want prepositions or endings of nouns to signify a preposition.
(Preposition include With, to, by, from, on top, below). If you want endings to signify a preposition, tell
me which prepositions you want to replace (Itll be easier than listing theses cases out). Heres a good list
of Prepositions if you are confused http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/prepositions
Do nouns have number (examples car, cars) (singular and plural used). The three common numbers are
Singular (Denoting one thing), Dual (Denoting 2 things), and Plural (Denoting many things). Theres also
Trial (Denoting 3 things), but this appears in few languages and only applies to the pronoun. There is also
Quadral (Denoting 4 things), but this doesnt actually exist in any language that I know of. Then there is
Paucal (Denoting few things, not many things), only a few languages actually use this form. But some
languages dont mark for number at all.
How are these endings attached to the nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and verbs? do the attach to the
beginning of the word, at the end of the word, inside the word, or does the whole word change (like in
pronouns I, me, we, us)
Is there gender of the nouns/pronouns/adjectives, If so what genders:
Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter
Masculine, Feminine
Common, Neuter (Common gender is the combination of the Masculine and Feminine Genders)
If you decide against the above inflictions, ignore this next step
Do adjectives/pronouns have to agree with the noun (provided that the noun declines for at least on of the
things listed above), what does it agree for
4. Alphabet

5. Indeclinables: this includes adverbs (words that describe a verb), prepositions (see noun declension),
conjunctions (and, but) and interjection (oh, hey)
