0 Hello Iglika02br 02br 00Here we have good English teachers. But I don’t think anyone here is acquainted with Chomsky's generative grammar theories well enough to answer your question. So I recommend you to study yourself and try to find the answers yourself by reading the articles in [url=05000/]U-Penn Linguistics[/url].
