Promises to friends and to yourself, sentence 16

A promise to yourself, such as saving or practising, has no one to check it, so it needs extra will.

Who acts: promise, money · What happens: save, practise, have, check, need · To what, where: one, money, extra will

This is a sentence of the lesson «Promises to friends and to yourself» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school.
