Re: How to distinguish I want from I have to?

szilard, if you could make corrections and post it that would be very helpful. Beginners texts are useful for corpus research because the beginners haven't been influence as much by what's already been written. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQavEUlwPXE You have to select English -- toki pona at th...
