1. Objective

By the end, you will choose and manipulate forms related to “Information structure” without copying the model.

2. Discover

Look at the examples for “Information structure — practise and choose the right form” without translating word by word. First identify the Albanian pattern that repeats.

3. Understand

Albanian can move a phrase to the beginning to highlight information. Grammatical roles remain clear through verb forms and often clitics. Ask which piece of information the speaker wants to foreground.

Sot do të punoj nga shtëpia.Në Tiranë jeton motra ime.Këtë libër e kam lexuar dy herë.Pas pune takohemi te sheshi.Vetëm nesër mund të vij.Për këtë çështje do të flasim më vonë.

Watch out

Choose the connector from the meaning, not from an isolated translation. Languages do not always divide logical relations in the same way.
