		Generally, sentences written in the active voice are easier to understand because the subject of the verb performs the action or causes the action denoted by the verb.

		With most verbs, the simple past tense is created by adding “ed.” Examples: Live, Lived Date, Dated Love, Loved Regular and Irregular Verbs: Verbs are subdivided into two groups (regular verbs and irregular verbs) on the basis of how their past tense and past participles are formed.

		To diagram a prepositional phrase, the preposition is placed on a slanted line beneath the subject or verb which the phrase modifies, the object of the preposition is placed on a horizontal line below the primary horizontal, and any modifiers of the object are placed on slanted lines beneath the object of the preposition.

	Chapter 2: Word order
		When the subject of the verb is a pronoun in English, the Lebanese equivalent is the verb alone.
		Even though the verb precedes the subject as a general rule, I notice that very short sentences like the one I used as an example are usually inverted, i.e we'd lean more towards saying "Lana taraket".
		As the verb "to leave" is transitive (meaning it can take an object), and a verb's object comes after it just like the subject, we can't be sure out of context that Lana is a subject and not an object.

	"Gustar" and Similar Verbs
		Whenever you have an action or actions as the subject, you should always conjugate the verb in the 3rd person singular, even if the previous subject remains in the sentence.
		You must also keep in mind that, when dealing with an object (not a person or verb), the object must be defined by the use of articles (el/la/los/las; un/una/unos/unas), possesives (mi, tu, su, etc.) or by demonstratives (este/esta/estos/estas; ese/esa, etc.).
		Note how some things like the subject and its adjective, the IO pronoun and verb, and the "a" preposition plus the names remain together and act as groups.
