Overview<\/h1>\r\n

In this chapter, you will learn how to point to objects and identify them in polite Nepali. You will practice using demonstratives (\u201cthis,\u201d \u201cthat,\u201d \u201cthese,\u201d \u201cthose\u201d) and the linking \u201cbe\u201d forms for singular and plural, including negative forms (\u201cis not,\u201d \u201care not\u201d). By the end of the chapter, you will be able to ask and answer common classroom questions such as \u201cWhat is this?\u201d and \u201cWhat are these?\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
