Some major grammatical differences include: (a) deletion of possessive marker with adjacent nouns, (b) deletion of plural marker when a numerical quantifier is used, (c) different formation of indirect questions, (d) no final -s in the third-person singular present tense, (e) use of double negatives involving the auxiliary verb at the beginning of a sentence, (f) use of be to mark habitual action, and (g) use of the copula is not obligatory.
