-------------------------------- VERBS FOR ACTION ----------------------

 Verbs (words which mostly describe actions) are particularly easy
compared with most languages.  The infinitive is indicated by the
ending "I" -- as in vidi (to see), pensi (to think).
The present tense is indicated by the ending "as".  For example:

 vidas    (see or sees);
 pensas   (think or thinks);
 fermas   (close or closes);
 La besto dormas.      (The animal sleeps.);
 Mi mortas la faylon.  (I delete/kill  the file.)

--------------------------- ADVERBS ADD INTEREST --------------------------

 Adjectives can be changed into adverbs by replacing that final 
letter 'a" with the letter "e", as in rapide (rapidly), 
simple (easily), vere (truely) and bele (beautifully).
 Now add some adverbs to adjectives or verbs:

 vere simpla (truly easy),
 paroli felice (to speak happily),
 La hundo+  regardas rapide. (the dogs search quickly).

 ci'tie  (here), 
 tre     (very),
 ankawe  (also).

Conjunctions are words used for joining ideas.

 kaw (and),
 aw  (or ),
 sed (but).

ni - we, us;
