| * Most sentences in [[Kala]] contain a verb phrase, typically denoting the occurrence of an action. A verb phrase consists of a verb plus any modifiers.
| |
|
| |
| * Most sentences also contain at least one noun phrase, typically denoting a person or thing. A noun phrase consists of a noun plus any modifiers.
| |
|
| |
| * The two most important noun phrases are the subject and the object. Their exact meaning depends on the choice of verb, but
| |
| :loosely speaking, the subject is the person or thing that carries out the action, and the object is the person or thing that is directly affected by the action.
| |
|
| |
| * [[Kala]] has an extremely regular grammar, with very few exceptions to its rules. Sentences are made up of one or more phrases. Each phrase consists of a subject (optionally followed by modifying particles) and a verb (optionally followed by modifying particles).
