Smooth English

A tale full of lies.

This dance is really something to see: everyone should see it. Look! It is not simply a dance but like a song it shows that one never just teaches music. So it is not something way above people, it is a way to find the deepest truth. Normally, it is graceful when done together. But then we get excited and we dance not only earnestly but by spinning we show the truest feelings that rise above the human soul. Thus the words of God are clear and accurate. Can others achieve this type of dancing with little effort? Some people may give up and instead take careful steps rather than letting themselves dance freely.

There are four verb conjugations in the language which are diplayed below. Only present tense appears in this so all others are suppressed for the sake of brevity.
