Note:

• Tenses are lexicalized in Vietnamese. Past tense and present tense are highly optional/contextual in natural speech and in written text
• Pronouns are relative to social/familial status in Vietnamese. Tôi-Bạn (1sg-2sg) paradigm is used here
• Noun classifiers are often optional too. Different noun categories take different classifiers.
