<p>Would we be able to fix the grammar so that these are acceptable:</p>
<p>> John has money.<br>
> John sells goods.</p>
<p>Arguably, |John sells some goods| is implied by |John sells
goods|, but not the other way around. <br>
</p>
<p>Arguably, if a human knows |John sells goods|, s/he would
conclude that the probability of |John teaches category theory| is
low. <br>
</p>
<p>i.e. |John sells goods| tells the listener what John does for a
living, whereas |John sells some goods| is compatible with him
doing so casually. <br>

every noun must be preceded by a determiner in ACE, e.g.
this syntax<br>
is accepted:<br>
<br>
John has some money. John sells some goods.<br>
<br>
[A,B,C,D]<br>
object(A,money,mass,na,na,na)-1/4<br>
predicate(B,have,named(John),A)-1/2<br>
object(C,good,countable,na,geq,2)-2/4<br>
predicate(D,sell,named(John),C)-2/2<br>
<br>

(which contains: "Every noun needs a determiner.", "Do not
use nouns<br>
without a determiner.")<br>
