IELTS · True / False / Not Given

Decide whether the statement is True, False, or Not Given.

Esperanto is a constructed language created in the late nineteenth century by a Polish eye doctor who hoped a simple, neutral tongue might ease communication between peoples. Its grammar is famously regular, with no irregular verbs and consistent word endings that signal whether a word is a noun, adjective, or adverb. Enthusiasts hold conventions around the world, and a small number of children grow up speaking it at home. Although it never became the universal second language its inventor imagined, Esperanto still has an active community of learners online, and several free apps now teach it to beginners.

According to the passage, choose TRUE, FALSE, or NOT GIVEN: Esperanto's grammar contains many irregular verbs that learners must memorise.
