'要'字，乾脆改成了A，我要去走走。

Make sure that when you use this reduction, you do not say, I'm gonna 'to' take a

確保當你使用這個減法的時候，你不要說，我要 "要 "拿一個。

walk.

走。

Because we've already used the 'to' when we changed it into A.

What's happening here with the verb conjugation?

這裡的動詞連詞是怎麼回事？

Do you see that the word have is conjugated the same way for each of these?

你看這些詞的共軛方式都一樣嗎？

That's because we have the word do.

那是因為我們有 "做 "字。

The verb do has been added to these sentences.
