Things You Need To Study (A Review of CAPE Communication Studies)

This is a popular question in Paper 01A, so know it!  Habitual action is shown by the use of the word 'does' before the verb in the sentence  She does be real annoyin sometimes  In Creole nouns that are always plural in Standard English are used as both singular and plural Ah ha to go buy a pants today.
