Locating manner and participant

አበበ በጥንቃቄ ጻፈ። A learner is asked how the action was carried out in this original classroom example. He selects the participant’s name because it appears first and is familiar. His partner identifies the expression describing careful performance and distinguishes it from the person and the writing action. The teacher asks both students to explain the function in the complete sentence rather than rely on a fixed position rule. No unusual dialect form or uncertain derived word is needed for this exercise. The class will then compare a question about who acted with a question about how the action happened. Their answers should change according to the requested information even though the supplied sentence remains the same.
