I've been thinking more about this comment.  The English translations are, of 
course, "tensed", and hence inaccurate.  For the sake of an introductory 
puzzle, what do people think of replacing the "cu" with "ca" in the first six 
cases?  Explaining about tense being optional, and "cu" being elidable, could 
then wait, and perhaps be the subject of a subsequent puzzle page.

I also invite people here to comment - constructively - on this page:

Again, please be diplomatic.


Thanks.
