Pig Latin/Lessons/3: Basic Verbs

Because of this, a ruffle common in other languages like Spanish, French, et. al., irregulary conjugations are not present in NAPL. Conjugations of NAPL are very standard-- there is only one exception to the standard conjugation, in fact. That's the word "to be" (covered next lesson).
