| Your continuing quest for knowledge compells you to continue browsing down the aisles. You feel like you've learned enough verbs and adverbs for now, but you are still searching for nouns, adjectives, and relationals. Also, the librarian, Marron-chan, tells you that there is a book towards the end of the row that is full of useful phrases and expressions. What a treasure! |
