Appendix 3. Irregular verbs, back and front vowels

Speech sound patterns can help remember. This appendix looks verb vowels from the back of the mouth to the front.
Appendix 2. Irregular verbs, high & low vowels

Most dictionaries list irregular verbs alphabetically, and thus we do not need to repeat that here. We look to irregular verb high and low vowels.
Voluntary practice

The practice has questions and suggested answers about American civics. The answers are more of ideas that could be of use in creative writing.

Chapter 6. To choose own path in time

To choose between the Present Perfect and the Past Simple, we need our own resolves in real time.
5.1. The language logic so far

The Aspect or Time can make one type of logic, but we may prefer to affirm or deny in distinct extents.
