In this lesson, we’ll begin learning how to talk about actions that aren’t done to anyone or anything else—actions like standing, walking, or dancing. These are everyday activities that people simply do. To use these action words in Chamorro sentences, the word often needs to change form first. We’ll take a closer look at how these changes work and why they matter. Understanding these patterns will help you start forming action sentences with these words and will prepare you for many of the sentence patterns you’ll encounter later in the language. Happy studying!
