== NAV-ENG Tests ==
 
===Determiners===
 
* Navajo has no equivalent determiner to English's "the" or "a"
 
  
===Postpositions===
 
* Navajo has a wide array of postpositions, also applying possessive inflection on them
 
 
===Pronouns===
 
* Pronouns are often excluded in Navajo, appearing only as morphemes within the verb
 
 
===Verb placement===
 
* Verbs always appear at the end of the sentence in Navajo
 
 
===Future Verb mode===
 
* Unlike English, which conveys the future tense with an auxilliary "will," Navajo encodes this information in the verb, having a slightly different stem and set of subject prefixes for the verb.
