Line 10:
Most of the confusion around e comes from not knowing what the direct object is. For example,
 
; mi toki e sina : DOES NOT MEAN "I talk to you"
: <del>I talk to you</del>
 
; mi toki e sina : "I say you"
 
Remembering what is what isn't as hard as it seems; in English, the direct object never has a preposition. So if in the sentence you're translating, the "object" has a preposition before it (such as to, for, from, etc), it's not the direct object.
