Geez, you guys are all wrong. "its" refers to the elephant! You earthlings baffle me. Ok, when I read "The frost beheads it at its play" the "its" is referring to whichever entity is playing. I first interpreted it to be the frost. The frost beheads the flower at the frost's play. It could also be read that the frost beheads the flower during the flower's play. This is why certain words in English just don't work for me. They can be convenient, sometimes efficient, however almost always ambiguous. Not in every context, often enough though. Watch out for words like "it", "that", "this", "he", "she". Again, sometimes it's obvious what the subject is, other times it is not... usually not when interpreted literally, or there are more than one entities in the discussion. Oh yea, everyone is actually right. -Troy

It appears that your question was cut off. In English, at least in the US; we would probably just use a lot of cuss words. There can be some very creative phrases I'm sure, but I would need an example situation to go from. A lot of times we replace cuss words with similar sounding words to be less offensive. "That dag bum computer cut off my question!" heheh

Immersion is good. Labels a bunch of items in your house. "Door", "Refrigerator", "Lamp", "Cat". Ok, maybe not that last one :) Every time you see a label, say the word out loud. Combine this with studying verbs, then repeat out loud what you are doing. "I am opening the door", "I am walking to my room", "I'm brushing my teeth." ;) Next thing you know you'll be singing in English!
