Read the first 6 Interpreting Rules from Images flashcards as text

  1. A diagram shows: [Circle] = noun, [Square] = verb, [Triangle] = adjective. A sentence structure diagram shows: [Circle][Triangle][Square][Circle]. Which English sentence matches this pattern?

    Answer: The tired soldier marched the road.

    Circle(noun)+Triangle(adj)+Square(verb)+Circle(noun) = noun+adjective+verb+noun structure.

  2. A visual grammar rule shows arrows: Word A → Word B means B must agree with A. An image shows: [Noun: feminine] → [Adjective]. In a test language, feminine nouns require adjective suffix '-af'. The noun 'Talu' (feminine) is modified by 'bren' (long). What is the correct adjective form?

    Answer: Brenaf

    The arrow shows the adjective must agree with the feminine noun by taking '-af': 'brenaf.'

  3. An image shows a sentence box with slots: [SLOT 1: Time] [SLOT 2: Subject] [SLOT 3: Verb] [SLOT 4: Object]. You are given: Subject='Kenu'(dog), Verb='vel'(chases), Object='nalu'(horse), Time='drek'(now). Which arrangement is correct?

    Answer: Drek kenu vel nalu.

    Fill slots in order: Time(drek)+Subject(kenu)+Verb(vel)+Object(nalu) = 'Drek kenu vel nalu.'

  4. A picture grammar shows: [single dot] = singular, [double dot] = plural. Nouns shown as boxes, verbs as ovals. A new symbol has a box with a double dot. What does this represent?

    Answer: A plural noun

    Box = noun, double dot = plural → plural noun.

  5. A grammar diagram uses brackets: {A} means optional, [A] means required. A rule reads: [Subject] {Adjective} [Verb] {Adverb}. Which sentence CANNOT be generated by this rule?

    Answer: Walks slowly.

    'Walks slowly' has no subject — but [Subject] is required, so this sentence is invalid.

  6. An image shows a transformation rule: take a sentence, move the verb to the front, add '?' at the end = question. Sentence: 'Nalu vel doru.' (Horse runs man.) Applying the rule, what is the question form?

    Answer: Vel nalu doru?

    Move 'vel' (verb) to front: vel + nalu doru + ? = 'Vel nalu doru?'
