Review Summary
- Noun + na/ng + Modifier/Clause
常见错误
When the preceding word ends in a vowel, you must use the '-ng' clitic instead of the full 'na'.
In Filipino relative clauses, the noun usually comes before the modifier.
Avoid using 'siya' (it) redundantly; the 'na/ng' already establishes the link.
