Language is a tool for efficient communication. The internet is a tool for fast communication. Do not defy both intents by posting incoherent writing.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Abandon the idea before you forget you even had the idea.

Hello Plazians, I was hoping to spread out and find some people that could help me develop a new language.
At this point I'm looking to perfect the grammar. I'd rather we hold off on the sounds, writing system, etc., until we have a proper grammar.
I will provide what I have so far. If you don't understand something, please ask! If you understand much of this jargon, please join me.
The Grammar
-----VERBS-----

Future
Voices:
Passive
Active
Polarity:
Negative
Affirmative
Modality:
Indicative (Factual Statement)
Renarrative (Possible Statement)

TRANSITIVITY DEFINED BY NOUN CASE.

Come after a full sentence to join sentences together.
Come in three classes
AND
Where the clauses agree.
I like pie, AND pizza.
OR
Where at least one clause is true.
I will eat pie, OR pizza.
NOT
Where a definite clause is false, usually used solo to communicate clarifications.
I am eating pie, NOT pizza
Subject transitivity is indicated by a grammatical particle used directly after each conjunction to show that either the previous subject is still the subject in the next clause, or the subject will change.
Other grammatical particles:
Particles to switch between denouncing the subject, action, object, and indirect object?
