This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...(1) If it joins two sentences, use ke. (2) If it means who, whom, which, use 911a as subject, quart as object (if before the verb). (3) If it means that (person), use ita, ta. (4) If it means that thing, use ito, to. (5) If it means that kind of, use tala. (6) If it means in order that, use por ke (with imperative). E.g. (1) I see that you are here, Me vidas ke vu esas hike. (Joins sentences " I see," " you arc here") (2) The cat that was here, La kato qua esis hike. The dog that you saw, La hundo, quan vu vidis. (3) That man is too old, Ita (or, ta) viro esas tro mal-yuna. (4) That is no use, Ito (or, to) ne utilesas. (5) That person! Well, 1 never I Tala persono! ne-kredebla!

The word that is very often omitted in English, but should Never be omitted in Ido: (1) The booh I gave you( = the book that (or which) I gave you), La libro, quan me donis ad vu. (In this case that is the pronoun.) (2) I think he will come (= I thinh that he will come), Me pensas ke il venos. (In this case that is the conjunction.) It is generally omitted in English after verbs like to think, to hope, to wish, to believe. It is impossible to pay too much attention to this rule, as the correct use of the word ke is the key to a good international style for English-speaking students. Other Words omitted.--All other words omitted in English have to be inserted in Ido: It was he mentioned the fact ( = he who mentioned), II esas ...
