Lesson 3Personal pronouns, to be and to have
Use ech, du, hien, si, hatt and the verbs sinn and hunn correctly.
Explanation
- hien = he; si = she; hatt = she / it (for a neuter word). In the plural, si means: they.
- The full form is ech sinn; in running text the n-rule can turn it into Ech si midd.
- Make three versions each time: positive, negative and a question.
