# **Chíetoaı namako** -- Bonus lesson

Toaq with Ease was supposed to have 50 lessons, but only 14 have been written by the author. In anticipation of the community writing more lessons, or entirely new learning materials, this dialogue-free lesson will serve as a small overview of new but essential Toaq features not covered in the previous lessons.

## Sentence structure

You can actually leave **da** or **móq** off the end of a sentence. If there are question words, the meaning is as if you said **móq**, and otherwise it's as if you said **da**.

In addition, you can prepend **ꝡa** (in the falling tone) to a declarative sentence or ****-question without changing its meaning.
In addition, you can prepend **ꝡa** (in the falling tone) to a declarative sentence or ****-question without changing its meaning. This offers another way to indicate boundaries between sentences, so you don't have to say **da** all the time.

## Pronouns

The word **** is actually specifically an "anaphoric" pronoun: it refers to an animate party mentioned earlier in the text. We didn't learn the more generic third-person personal pronouns: **nháo** (he/she/they, singular) and **nhána** (they, plural).

## What's left?

Toaq's grammar is not very big, and this course has covered most of the essentials. We didn't learn about certain common constructs, like adjectives, adverbs, or serial verbs. The wiki has an [overview of the grammar](https://toaq.me/Grammar_overview) that touches on these concepts. They are described in full in the [reference grammar](https://toaq.net/refgram/).
Toaq's grammar is not very big, and this course has already covered most of the essentials. However, we didn't learn about certain common constructs, like adjectives, adverbs, or serial verbs.

You can round out your vocabulary by reading the [cheat sheet](https://toaq.me/Cheat_sheet) or browsing [Toadua](https://toaq.me/Toadua). Or you can come talk to us on [Discord](https://toaq.me/Discord). If you made it this far, I'm sure you can form more sentences than you think! **Laojaı íme, ꝡä choaqfa súq íme da.** ![Toaq-heart](../tones/toaqhua.png){: height="20" }
