  I have taught the child to use the expression ‘I have toothache’
under certain circumstances ˇand now it uses these words under these circumstances. – But what are these circumstances? Shall
I
we
answer
say
 “the circumstances under which it moaned”, and what are these?

    But now I also teach the child to moan on the stage! That is to say I ˇeven teach
it
him
 to use this expression in a different game. I also teach it to read out the sentence ‘I have toothache’
from
out
 a book, when it hasn't toothache.
 In fact I could teach it to lie, as a separate language game. (In fact we often play this kind of game with children)
