Demonstrates that:
- the 'adverbs of time' eg 'karrəlkuk' (tonight) & 'nyarri' (now) were usually the last word in a sentence and did not contain transferring endings. (Transferring endings are endings that have been transferred from a verb to an adverb. For example, in 'wembangurr kumbiny' (We won't sleep.) 'angurr' (we) has been transferred from 'kumbiny' to 'wemba' (no). The adverb 'wemba' is the 'head word' or first word in the sentence.)
- the regular sentence beginning with a verb with tense and person endings ie kumb/iny/angurr. (The tense ending 'when the action happens' is added before the person ending 'who does the action'.) ('angurr' shows that the listener is included in the action)
- 'lar Kukakity-kat' - house belonging to Kuka. The 'kity' is the belonging to ending for nouns ending vowels and the 'kat' gives emphasis. In other words 'we're sleeping at Kuka's house tonight not anyone elses.'. (The belonging ending for pronouns is 'katy')

Build - How would you say? 'We will eat at Grandma's tonight.' 'Mum and Dad are eating at Aunty Karen's house today.'
