In this post, I offer you a chance to practice much of the knowledge you have about dual and plural agreement and to practice the information presented earlier about agreement and about the case marking system. Today, you are asked to change the sentences below into dual, and then to change the same sentences into plural. Try to think about the reason for choosing suffixes and forms you intend to use, e.g. why use (<\/span>\u0635\u062f\u064a\u0642\u0627\u0646<\/span>) and not (<\/span>\u0635\u062f\u064a\u0642\u064a\u0646<\/span>). Try also to remember what we said about broken plurals and non-human plurals. To help you choose the forms, I translate the sentences below; however, if you can translate the sentences yourself, it will be much better. Enjoy the exercise, and wait for the next post to get the answers!<\/span><\/p>\n
