Here's some actual feedback instead of douchebag tangenting, Matrix:
- The two-verb thing looks like a cool serial verb construction. I'm guessing both of the verbs are in one clause since there's only one subject allowed. I'm curious what determines which verb is primary and which secondary: is there a closed class of verbs (want, go, sit, stay) that can be primary? Or is it completely productive, like you could say something like "I ate the apples to lose weight" — 'weight' 'apples' 'I' 'lose' 'ate'?
- It's very unnatlangy to change the word order in questions across the board: usually there's sensitivity to a question word or wh-word. Think of what you'd do in sentences like "What did the dog eat?" with object wh-words. You could have SOV order in yes/no questions with an extra question particle, and put the wh-word at the front of the sentence in wh-questions.
