=Basic Grammatical Structures=

This section primarily covers all the parts of speech: nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. It will also describe how to integrate the various parts of speech into a coherent sentence by using particles. By the end of this section, you should have an understanding of how basic sentences are constructed.

Declaring something is so and so using 르
Vocabulary
 * 1) person
 * 2) student
 * 3) healthy

There is no verb for the state-of-being like the verb "to be" in English. You can, however, declare what something is by attaching 르 to a noun or adjective only. (We will learn about adjectives in the section on adjectives later.)

Examples
 * 1) 人르. Is person.
 * 2) 学生르. Is student.
 * 3) 健기르. Is healthy.

Conjugating to the negative state-of-being
Vocabulary
 * 1) friend

In Rangyan, negative, past and future tenses are all expressed by conjugation. We can conjugate 르 to either its negative, past or future tense to say A is not B; A was B; or A will be B. This may be a bit hard to grasp at first but all these state-of-being conjugations are regular.

Example
 * 1) 学生로므. Is not student.
 * 2) 友로므. Is not friend.
 * 3) 健기로므. Is not well.

Conjugating to the past state-of-being
We will now learn the past tense of the state-of-being. To say something was something, attach 루웨 to the noun or adjective.

In order to say the negative past (was not), conjugate 르 to the negative past tense 로무웨.
