14.A. True and False
Mark true or false. Justify your answer, if
"false"
| Statement |
true/false |
Justification |
| The third person
pronouns have just two forms each in
both singular and plural. |
|
|
| An adverbial object or
prepositional phrase always follows
verb. |
|
|
| The conjugation "nda"
by itself never connects clauses. |
|
|
| Both the noun and its
qualifying adjective carry the definite
ending. |
|
|
| Only prepositions which
are also conjunctions may precede their
objects. |
|
|
| With regular transitive
verbs, the positions of the direct and
indirect objects are invariable. |
|
|
| The relative pronoun "kan"
is sometimes combined with another word. |
|
|
| With a negative verb
construction, there are two ways to say
"nothing". |
|
|
| An indirect quotation is
always introduced by "kan"
(that). |
|
|
| Only 6, 7, and 8 of the
cardinal numbers are never shortened in
the higher numbers. |
|
|
|
