 Can you decipher certain writing patterns in the above formulations? If so, what are they?
 
-Consider this sentence:
+Consider the following sentences:
 
 ```
 MY YEARNING FERVENTLY LIKES YOUR AMOROUS PASSION.
+MY APPETITE TENDERLY CHERISHES YOUR BEAUTIFUL WISH.

 We can "code" this sentence as follow:
 
-```determiner``` + ```noun``` + ```adverb``` + ```verb``` + ```determiner``` + ```adjective``` + ```noun``` + .
+MY + ```noun``` + ```adverb``` + ```verb``` + YOUR + ```adjective``` + ```noun``` + .
 
 In fact, we could even add an ```adjective``` before the first ```noun``` as to make it even more "wordy":
 
-```determiner``` + ```adjective``` + ```noun``` + ```adverb``` + ```verb``` + ```determiner``` + ```adjective``` + ```noun``` + .
+MY + ```adjective``` + ```noun``` + ```adverb``` + ```verb``` + YOUR + ```adjective``` + ```noun``` + .

 	let random_index = floor(random(array_to_choose_from.length));

+With both these elements we can start devising the code of the long form we identified above. 
+
+MY + ```noun``` + ```adverb``` + ```verb``` + YOUR + ```adjective``` + ```noun``` + . 
+
+Let's do this coding with a function again:
+
+```javascript
+// function that randomly generates a long form sentence
+function long() {
+	return "MY " + choice(nouns) + " " + choice(adverbs) + " " + choice(verbs) + " YOUR " + choice(adjectives) + " " + choice(nouns) + ".";
+}
 ````
 
+This will certainly work. Yet I would like to have more variation with the sentences the function returns. At the moment it will always follow the long form structure.
+
+How about we make ```adjective``` and ```adverb``` non mandatory, meaning they maybe there or maybe not. What I have in mind is something like:
+
+```javascript
+// function that randomly generates a long form sentence
+function long() {
+	return "MY " + maybe(adjectives) + " " + choice(nouns) + " " + maybe(adverbs) + " " + choice(verbs) + " YOUR " + maybe(adjectives) + " " + choice(nouns) + ".";
+}
+````
+
+To decide if an element (```adjective``` and ```adverb```) should be there or not we will write a ```maybe``` function which will randomly choose true or false if the element should be chose from an array.
+
+```javascript
+// function that randomly decides if an element from an array should be selected or not
+function maybe(array_to_choose_from) {
+	// choose between true or false
+	if(choice([true, false])) {
+		// if true then return an element from the array
+		return choice(array_to_choose_from);
+	} else {
+		// otherwise return and empty sentence (i.e. nothing)
+		return "";
+	}
+}
