We learn to perceive the nodal time:
B. The grain of sand did one hour of thinking about composite things a day, and appreciated the activity as emotionally valid. ■→More
Tag: Word form
Letter or speech sound form of morphological, semantic, and phonological properties.
10.1. UNREAL OR REAL TIME
No group and no Government can properly
prescribe precisely what should
constitute the body of knowledge with which true education
is
concerned.

CHAPTER 10. FORM RELATIVITY GALORE
With theory making, the verb form “HAVE” works as a syntactic device, an anchor to close the frame on time; and all the way, the form goes a step forward, in its target grammatical time reference. ■→More
9.4. MODAL RELATIVITY PRACTICE
Human lives are not just stories, but the narrator time can help comprehend the notional time, the time of the person who speaks: we "target" and "jump" grammatical time extents, with Mark Twain's Huckleberry, too. ■→More
9.3. DETAIL ON MODAL STRUCTURES
The Interrogative for Modals MAY, NEED, or MUST will confirm on our Modal net and syntactic HAVE as an anchor. ■→More
9.2. THE MODAL NET
We have considered two sides of a hypothetical fruit. Let us now think if we could arrive at the theory net “weight”: we people usually purpose something real for theories. ■→More
9.1. AUXILIARY HAVE AND MODAL SYNTAX
Modal verbs narrate on thought, let us say, if we think something is a fruit, is a possible fruit, or maybe it even must be fruit, but we do not know the kind.
Whatever theory to make, it is first of all our thought process we need to manage. ■→More
CHAPTER 9. TO TELL THE FASHION IN VALUABLE TIME
Modal verbs do not narrate the real time. Their manner is relative to real time, as they mediate between the grammatical Time and Aspect. ■→More
8.2. PRACTICE FOR ALL ASPECTS
We practice earthling proper egoism: we ignore cues that would not be properly "egoistic" and "gravitational":
The butterfly (kiss) the bee in the midst of her phiz, when he (see) the golden grit. ■→More
8.1. EARTHLING BASIC COGNITIVE VARIABLE
Planet Earth has been a human natural habitat for millennia. In thousands of years, people to think what there is {ON} a map, have not denied plausibility for places {IN} areas, routes {TO} places, as well as locations {AT} them. Early childhood learning to talk has been getting along with learning to walk. For all English Aspects and tenses, this is always the first element in the verb pattern to change for the grammatical time, and that as for the variable {ON}. ■→More
CHAPTER 8. A PERFECT AND PROGRESSIVE REGARD
Matters may never be what they seem, but they are what they look: the Perfect Progressive does merge the Perfect and the Progressive. All Perfect tenses have an open time frame. ■→More
7.1. PRACTICE FOR THE HEART AND THE MIND
We learn to decide on own use of the Progressive ING, and the cognitive variable {ON}. Our answers do not have to be identical. We people differ in verb use. ■→More
CHAPTER 7. TIME IN THE MIND AND HEART
There are many grammar books to tell about “stative” or “static verbs”; that we should never use them with the Progressive; that phrases as "I am loving you" or "I am hating you" are incorrect. In fact, such phrases do occur also in educated styles, and more, without the brain and mind, the heart is just a muscle. ■→More
6.5. THE TARGET TIME AND FRAME
We use time frames and symbolic cues, to work as in the Mind Practice for the difference between the Simple and the Perfect. ■→More
6.4. MORE PRACTICE: THE GRAMMATICAL FRAME, VARIABLE, AND FORM
4. After some study of a number of ideas on the cosmos, she (picture) the humanity as an odd kind of fish in a series of still larger fish tanks. Early in the series, there (be) N any point to try bringing another fish tank to imagination. It (require) adding more fish tanks. ■→More
6.3. EXERCISES: THE ASPECT AND THE TIME FRAME
Mind practice for the Aspect and the time frame.
2. The skylark found nothing to outbid the bit of cosmos with a squid.
8. The spotted redshank bachelorette bewailed and reset her buret for the bouncing bet. ■→More
6.2. ASPECT COGNITIVE VARIABLE AND TIME FRAME
Madame Règle is not a systematic person at all. The only regularity about her would be a small book she always carries fastened to her bag with a scarf or, actually, a variety of scarves of many colors and textures. The book is not the same book every day, and the choice of the scarf sure depends on some totally unpredictable factor, just as the exact time for lunch, for which you might want to assume the broad time frame of about sixty minutes to commence or not to happen altogether. ■→More
6.1. OUR LINGUISTIC GRAVITATION
We people can share novelty, as well as speak without looking to the hour. We may resort to natural Earth and think gravitation. to choose on the grammatical time frame. ■→More
5.3. PRACTICE: REAL SYNTAX AND MORE WORDS
Abbreviated verb forms are really much in use in American English. It is important to learn telling them. We first try the exercises in our thoughts, as in the Mind Practice. ■→More
5.2. PRACTICE: SYMBOLIC CUES AND REAL SYNTAX
Symbols can be really helpful, whe we want effective and effortless language habits. Let us combine the Aspect and Time, to exercise symbolic cues. We try only to think about our answers: true learning is in the mind. ■→More
5.1. THE LOGIC SO FAR
We sum up on the grammar logic so far, and visualize Time along with Aspect for efficient language habits. ■→More
CHAPTER 5. LET US MAKE OWN PATHS ABOUT TIME
The Affirmative, Interrogative or Negative may look rare or even strange, if we think about everyday language. Let us reckon on something usual as a strawberry, to work these phrases out. ■→More
CHAPTER 2. THE FUTURE NEEDS THE PRESENT
humans have evolved grammars along with perception for three-dimensional space. There never has been, and there is not at hand really, any fourth dimension, as time. The real time we people live in is always our PRESENT. The verb form "will" can map on the real-time FUTURE already in its PRESENT grammatical form. ■→More
LANGUAGE FORM
We always need to know the language and the context, to see what the language form denotes: a picture of a cat is not a cat. To work on language form and syntax, we can use virtual words. We have two invented verbs, bimmo and thimo, and two invented nouns, phimo and rheemo. We use them only if and when we like. ■→More
