Erin: I completely agree but I guess I was interested in if someone is always
thinking in one kind of grammar there will qualitative differences in thinking
because when I heard a noun described by a verb based language as "the place
where an action took place" it is very odd way to think for me. But since we
all have the same subject, verb,object grammar yes I think we can all express
our fear of the dog going to bite ourselves.

Erin: I think we have the same in Englihs. Ex. I am running.
