While we’re all in isolation, we’re going to try to post one video a day from Sol’s existing teaching library, and the teaching libraries of some of his friends.

Today, a quick greeting from Solomon Ratt, followed by a more advanced lesson in verbs, including verbs as commands, as declarative sentences, sentences and even in future tense.
