Do you know that 'there is no space for 'ING' in pidgin english?' examples: i bin dey sleepING. I bin dey singING. It doesn't make sense. I dare you to prove me wrong.

Now that I think about it. . . You're correct. Can't think of a single sentence with an 'ing' in it.

Hehe. Guy, pidgin get e own rules o.
No space for is, was and are for pidgin o.
"Dey" replaces them all.
In fact, if u listen to pidgin carefully, u'll recognize that it's complicated.
It has as many rules as English.
