Referring to objects

Let's use as an example that there is a wooden box on the floor of the room you are in, and you want to pick it up. The simplest way to do so would be to type:

get box

But what if there is also an iron box? Then, you need to specify what you want:

get wooden box

Also, provided there are no other 'wooden' objects, you can type "get wooden" to get the box.

If there are two identical objects visible, and you want to get a specific one, you can refer to it by number: "get wooden box 2". If you wish to manipulate multiple objects, you can use "get all" or "get all wooden box". Note that "get all wooden boxes" will not work, because the English language does not have sufficently consistent rules for plurals.

If you want to refer specifically to something you are carrying, you can use 'my', for example "look at my wooden box" to make sure you look at the box you're carrying, as opposed to the one in the room with you. "The" functions equivalently for things you are NOT carrying.

You can combine "my", "the", and "all", though "my the" will never match anything. Also, the words "things", "stuff", "objects", or "items" can be used AFTER the object name to do the same thing as "all" before, e.g. "drop my iron stuff".
