sixth later lesson / from unit 2 / lesson 4

Questions, Short Answers, and Repair

Use the pattern in a short dialogue, paragraph, translation, or project answer without looking back.

  • content question words
  • final ya for yes-no questions
  • question-word placement
  • repair phrases
  • short answers
third later lesson / from unit 3 / lesson 7

Time Words, Memory, and Future Intention

Mix this pattern with the current lesson's main form so retrieval happens in a new context.

  • an for future intention
  • or for completed manifest event
  • simple plan statements
  • time words after the clause
  • um for remembered past
  • yari time questions
