1. The parts of the expression ກໍ........ຄືກັນ kɔ̄ɔ....khýy-kan may occur separately or together in one of three ways, all with the same seaming.

For example,

ຂ້ອຍກໍສິໄປ	khɔ̂y kɔ̄ɔ si pay	I am going too.
ຂ້ອຍ    ສິໄປຄືກັນ	khɔ̂y si pay khýy kan	I am going too.
ຂ້ອຍກໍສິໄປຄືກັນ	khɔ̂y kɔ̄ɔ si pay khýy kan	I am going too.

Note the word order: kɔ̄ɔ follows the subject: khýy-kan comes at the end.

2. ພົວກເຮົາ phùak-háw (we) often occurs as ເຮົາ háw   alone.  ເຮົາ háw also has another meaning that you will learn later. 

3. ບໍ່ແມ່ນ bɔ̄ɔ mε̄εn  may precede a question.

ບໍ່ແມ່ນເຈົ້າສິໄປບໍ	bɔ̄ɔ mε̄εn càw si pay bɔɔ	Aren't you going?
ບໍ່ແມ່ນລາວໄປແລ້ວບໍ	bɔ̄ɔ mε̄εn làaw pay lὲεw bɔɔ	Hasn't he gone already?

4. When either place or time occurs in one sentence, it comes after the verb.  When both occur in the same sentence, time usually comes at the beginning.
