The Magic Spectacles ile James P. A suddenly appearing curiosity shop owned by a small man who might, or might not, be the Man in the Moon; a pair of strange spectacles buried in a fishbowl full of marbles; an old window glazed with sea-green glass found beneath a suburban house; and two adventurous boys who buy the spectacles and climb through the window The War of the Worlds ile H. Inquisitive locals gather round, only to be struck down by a murderous Heat-Ray.
Giant destructive machines disgorge from the cylinder, destroying everything in their path on a merciless march towards the capital. Can humanity survive this Martian onslaught? Mood Participles i Shall and will are used as Tense-auxiliaries. As a tense-auxiliary, shall is used only in the first person. Thus we say, I shall write ; thou wilt write ; he will write — when we speak merely of future time. We find wol also in wolde — an old spelling of would. Will in the 1st person expresses determination ; in the 2d and 3d, only futurity. The following are the parts of the verb Have: Past Perfect or Pluperfect Tense.
I shall have had. We shall have had. Thou wilt have had. You will have had. He will have had. We have had, 2. Same in form as the Indicative. The following are the parts of the verb Be: Thou wast or wert. Past Perfect Pluperfect Tense. I shall be, etc. I shall have been, etc.
We find the short simple form Be! As when, in a battle, several companies of a regiment have been severely cut up, and the fragments of those that came out safely are afterwards formed into one company, so has it been tith the verb be. Hence the verb ought to be printed thus: The m in am is the same as the m in me, and marks the first person.
The t in art is the same as the th in thou, and marks the second person. Compare wil-t and shal-t. Is has lost the suffix th. The Germans retain this, and say ist. Are is not the O. The word are was introduced by the Danes. In some of the dialects of England it appears as war — the German form. In such instances it is called a Copulative Verb or Copula. The Auxiliary Verbs have different functions.
It enables us to turn the active into the passive voice, and to form the imperfect tenses. May and should help us to make the compound subjunctive tenses ; and let is employed in the Imperative Mood to form a kind of third person. With the aid of have, we form the perfect tenses ; with the help of shall and will, the future tenses.
I can ; thou canst, etc. I could ; thou couldst, etc. Could is a weak form. The I has no right there: Chaucer always writes coude or couihe. I may ; thou may est, etc. I might ; thou mightest, etc. The g is still preserved in the gh of the past tense. The guttural sound indicated by g or gh has vanished from both. I have been striking. Past Perfect or Pluperfect Continuous. I shall be striking. I shall have struck. I shall have been striking. If I, thou, he have struck. If I 3 thou, he have been striking. If I, thou, he struck. If I, thou, he were striking.
Present Perfect Continuous, To have been striking. To be about to strike. I was struck was being struck. I had been struck. I shall be struck. I shall have been struck. If I, thou, he be struck. If I, thou, he have been struck. If I, thou, he were struck were being struck. If I had been struck. Be struck S Infinitive Mood. To have been struck. Future, Going or about to be struck. An Adverb is a word which goes with a verb, with an adjective, or with another adverb, to modify its meaning: Here badly modifies the verb writes.
Here very modifies the adjective hot. Here rapidly modifies writes, and very, rapidly. Adverbs — so far as their function is concerned — are of two kinds: A Conjunctive, Adverb has two functions: Thus, if I say " He came when he was ready," the adverb when not only modifies the verb came, and shows the time of his coming, but it joins together the two sentences - He came " and " he was ready. Adverbs — so far as their meaning is concerned — are of several kinds.
Now, then ; to-day, to-morrow ; by-and-by, etc. Here, there ; hither, thither ; hence, thence, etc. Once, twice, thrice ; singly, two by two, etc.
Well, ill ; slowly, quickly ; better, worse, etc. Very, little ; almost, quite ; all, half, etc. Nay, yea ; no, aye ; yes, etc. Therefore, wherefore ; thus ; consequently. The following are examples of Irregular Comparison in Adverbs. Ill or Badly worse worst. Nigh or Near nearer next. Chaucer has farre, and this is still found in Yorkshire. The th in farther comes from a false analogy with forth, further, furthest.
There is, in grammar, a class of words which may be called joining -words or connectives. They are of two classes: The first class are called Prepositions ; the second Conjunctions. A Preposition is a word which connects a noun or pro- noun with a verb, an adjective, or another noun or pronoun. It thus shows the relation between things, or between a thing and an action, etc.
Here on joins a verb and a noun. Here of joins an adjective and a noun. Here at joins two nouns. The word preposition comes from the Lat. We have similar compounds in composition and deposition. The noun or pronoun which follows the preposition is in the objective case, and is said to be governed by the prepo- sition. Thus we can say, " This is the house we were looking at.
We can also say, " Whom were you talking to? Prepositions are divided into two classes: But, the preposition, was in O.
The old proverb, " Touch not the cat but a glove," means " without a glove. The prepositions except and save may be regarded as imperatives. The same words are used sometimes as adverbs, and some- times as prepositions. We distinguish these words by their function. They can also be used as nouns or as adjectives.

A Conjunction is a word that joins words and sentences together. Conjunctions are of two kinds: And, both, but, either — or, neither — nor. The type of a subordinative conjunction is that, which is really the de- monstrative pronoun. After, before; ere, till; while, since; lest; because, as; for; if; unless; though; whether — or; than. Interjections are words which have no meaning in them- selves, but which give sudden expression to an emotion of the mind. They are no real part of language ; they do not enter into the build or organism of a sentence.
They are extra- grammatical utterances. Thus we say, Welcome! The interjection "Now then! Yerbs had one kind of inflexion, nouns another, adjectives a third; and it was almost impossible to confuse them. Then, in course of time, for many and various reasons, the English language began to lose its inflexions ; and they dropped off very rapidly between the 11th and the 15th cen- turies, till, nowadays, we possess very few indeed. Freedom given by absence of Inflexions. Perhaps the most remarkable is where he uses tongue for to talk of and brain for to think of. In " Cymbeline " he says: We have only one for the cases of the noun ; none at all for ordinary adjectives ex- cept to mark degrees ; a few in the pronoun ; and a few in the verb.
Hence we can use a word sometimes as one part of speech, and sometimes as another. We can say, " The boys had a good run;" and "The boys run very well. We need not inquire what a word is ; but we must ask what it does. But when we say, " Let us assist them, for our case is theirs," the word for joins two sentences together, and is hence a conjunction. In the same way, we can contrast early in the proverb, "The early bird catches the worm," and in the sentence "He rose early. Right is an adverb in the phrase " Eight reverend ; " but an adjective in the sentence " That is not the right road.
The, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, is an adjective ; but in such phrases as " The more, the merrier," it is an adverb, modifying merrier and more. Indeed, some words seem to exercise two functions at the same time. Thus Tennyson has — " Slow and sure conies up the golden year," — where slow and sure may either be adverbs modifying comes, or adjectives marking year ; or both. This is also the case with the participle, which is both an adjective and a verb ; and with the gerund, which is both a verb and a noun.
In other words, we must always — when trying to settle the class to which a word belongs — ask ourselves two questions — i What other word does it go with 1 and ii What does it do to that word 1 SYNTAX. The word Syntax is a Greek word which means arrange- ment. Syntax, in grammar, is that part of it which treats of the relations of words to each, other in a sentence. Syntax is usually divided into two parts, which are called Concord and G-overnment. The chief concords in grammar are those of the Verb with its Subject ; one Noun with another Noun ; the Pronoun with the Noun it stands for; the Relative with its Antecedent.
Thus we say, I write ; John writes: Of course, two nouns in apposition may be in the objective case, as in the sentence, " We met John the gardener. Thus we find such sentences as — i General Wolseley is an able soldier. In the first sentence Wolseley and soldier refer to the same person , beggar and guest refer to the same person ; and all that the verbs is and was do is to connect them.
They have no influence whatever upon either word. When is or are is so used, it is called the copula.
On examining the verbs in these sentences, it will be seen that they do not and cannot govern the noun that follows them. The noun be- fore and the noun after designate the same person. The word dbsolutus means freed ; and the absolute case has been freed from, and -is independent of, the construction of the sentence.
In the oldest English or Anglo-Saxon , the absolute case was the Dative ; and this we find even as late as Milton , who says— "Him destroyed, All else will follow. But, in the sentence, " Pompey having been defeated, his army broke up," Pompey — not being the noun to any verb — is in the nomina- tive absolute.
Hence, if a noun is the nominative to a verb, it cannot be in the nominative absolute. The pronoun It is often used as a Preparatory Nomina- tive, or — as it may also be called — a Representative Subject. Thus we say, "It is very hard to climb that hill," where it stands for the true nominative, to-climb-that-hill. The nominative to a verb in the Imperative Mood is usually omitted. But it has gradually gained a wider reference ; and we can say, "The Duke of Portland's funeral," etc. Hence it is not a double possessive, though it looks like it. The phrase, "a friend of mine," contains the same idiom ; only mine is used in place of my, because the word friend has been suppressed.
The Objective Case is that case of a noun or pronoun that is " governed by " a transitive verb or by a preposition. The English noun formerly had it, but lost it between the years and The object of an active- transitive verb must always be a Noun or the Equivalent of a Noun. AST In the last two instances the objects are sometimes called factitive objects. To wend one's way.
S8T Such objects are called cognate objects. Because these words limit or modify the verbs to which they are attached, they are sometimes called Adverbial Objectives. The following phrases are adverbial objectives of the same kind: Such phrases are rightly called adverbial, because they modify bound, fell, and turned ; and show how he was bound, how they fell upon him, etc. The same verb may be either Intransitive or Transitive, according to its use. An Intransitive verb performs the function of a Transi- tive verb when a preposition is added to it.
The preposition may continue to adhere to such a verb, so that it remains even when the verb has been made passive. And this is an enormous convenience in the use of the English language. The Dative is the case of the Indirect Object. He handed her a chair. She gave it me. He gave her a fan. She promised me a book.
Tell us a story. Show me the picture-book. Thus we can say either — Direct Object used as Subject. Indirect Object used as Subject. The words fan, etc. The Dative of the Personal Pronoun was in frequent use in the time of Shakespeare to add a certain liveliness and in- terest to the statement. Thus we find, in several of his plays, such sentences as — i " He plucked me ope his doublet. The Dative was once the Absolute Case. In our Old English — the English spoken before the coming of the Normans, and for some generations after — every adjec- tive agreed with its noun in gender, number, and case ; and even as late as Chaucer adjectives had a form for the plural number.
Thus in the Prologue to the ' Canterbury Tales,' he writes — K And smale fowles maken melodie," where e is the plural inflexion. In course of time, partly under the influence of the Nor- mans and the Norman language, all these inflexions dropped off; and there are now only two adjectives in the whole lan- guage that have any inflexions at all except for comparison , and these inflexions are only for the plural number.
The two adjectives that are inflected are the demonstrative adjectives this and that, which make their plurals in these formerly thise and those. Most adjectives are inflected for comparison. Every adjective is either an explicit or an implicit predi- cate. The way was long ; the wind was cold. The minstrel was infirm and old. The duke is very rich. Adjectives used as Implicit Predicates. We had before us a long way and a cold wind.
The infirm old minstrel went wearily on. The rich duke is very niggardly. When an adjective is used as an explicit predicate, it is said to be used predicatively ; when it is used as an implicit predicate, it is said to be used attributively. The cherries are ripe. The man we met was very old. Let us pluck only the ripe cherries. We met an old man. Thus we can say, i We made all the young ones happy, ii All present thought him odd.
Factitive comes from the Latin facio, I make. Thus we speak of " the True, the Good, and the Beautiful ; " " the sublime and the ridiculous ; " Mrs Browning has the phrase, " from the depths of God's divine ;" and Longfellow speaks of " A band Of stern in heart and strong in hand. Thus we find in Dr Johnson the line— " Slow rises worth, by poverty depressed ; " and in Scott — " Trip it deft and merrily ; " and in Longfellow— " The green trees whispered low and mild ; " And in Tennyson — " And slow and sure comes up the golden year.
But in course of time the e fell off, and an adverb was just like its own adjective. Hence we still have the phrases: Thus, in Pope — " How happy is the blameless vestal's lot, The world forgetting, by the world forgot! Thus we say " James is taller than I ; but Tom is the tallest of the three. Thus Shakespeare says, " A little ere the mightiest Julius fell ; " and we use such phrases as, " Truest friend and noblest foe. He gives us such phrases as, "a more larger list of sceptres," "more better,"' "more nearer," "most worst," "most unkindest cut of all," etc.
These cannot be employed now. Either and neither are dialectic forms of other and nother, which were afterwards compressed into or and nor. Thus Wordsworth, in the 'Laodamia,' has— " In worlds whose course is equable and pure. Thus Milton has — "Tears such as angels weep. The antecedent to the relative may be omitted. The relative itself may be omitted. It may hence be called the negative-relative.
The personal pronouns, when in the dative or objective case, are generally without emphasis. If we say " Give me your hand! Thus a careless reader once read: A midshipman on board one of H. We cannot say I writes, or He or The man write. In other words, certain pronouns and nouns require a certain form of a verb to go with them. If the pronoun is of the first person, then the verb will have a certain form ; if it is of the third person, it will have a different form.
If the noun or pronoun is sing- ular, the verb will have one form ; if it is plural, it may have another form. In these circumstances, the verb is said to agree with its subject. All these facts are usually embodied in a general statement, which may also serve as a rule. We may therefore say: We may therefore lay down the following rule: Thus, in Milton's " Lycidas," we find — " Bitter constraint and sad occasion dear Compels me to disturb your season due.
The speaker seems not to have yet made up his mind what nominatives he is going to use. Thus, in the well-known passage in Byron's " Childe Harold " we have — "Ah! Thus we say, "Justice, as well as mercy, allows it.
We must say, " The Mayor, with his attendants, was there. But the subject of an infinitive is always in the objective case. The infinitives go and sink have a double face. They are verbs in relation to their subjects him and go ; they are nouns in relation to the verbs that govern them. It is a a subject in the sentence, " To play football is pleasant. Thus we have " Rethought," " meseems" " Woe worth the day! The German form of this verb is werden. The Indicative Mood is the mood of direct assertion or statement. The Subjunctive Mood is the mood of assertion also, but with a modi- fication given to the assertion by the mind through which it passes.
If we use the term objective as describing what actually exists independently of our minds, and subjective as describing that which exists in the mind of the speaker, — whether it really exists outside or not, — we can then say that— i The Indicative Mood is the mood of objective assertion, ii The Subjunctive Mood is the mood of subjective assertion.
The Indicative Mood may be compared to a ray of light coming straight through the air; the Subjunctive Mood to the effect produced by the water on the same ray — the water deflects it, makes it form a quite different angle, and hence a stick in the water looks broken or crooked. The Imperative Mood is the mood of command or of request. It is always equal to a noun ; it is always either a subject or an object ; and hence it is incapable of making any assertion.
The Subjunctive Mood has for some years been gradually dying out. Few writers, and still fewer speakers, use it. Good writers are even found to say, " If he was here, I should tell him. Even so late as the year , Jane Austen, one of the best prose-writers of last century, used the subjunctive mood in almost every dependent clause. Not only does she use it after if and though, but after such con- junctions as till, until, because, and others. The antecedent clause, which contains the condition, is called the conditional clause ; and the clause which contains the consequence of the supposition is called the consequent clause.
Then 'twere well it were done quic kly.
Sometimes the conditional clause is suppressed. The conjunction is often omitted. As a noun, it is governed by a verb or preposition ; as a verb, it governs other nouns or pronouns. There are two gerunds — i one with to; and ii one that ends in ing. The present participle in ing, as loving, hating, walking, etc. The gerund in ing" is always a noun, and governs an object.
In the words walking-stick, frying-pan, etc. If they were ad- jectives and participles, the compounds would mean the stick that walks, the pan that fries. But if we say, " He is fond of hunting deer; " "He is engaged in building a hotel;" "He likes reading poetry," — then the three words are gerunds, for they act as verbs, and govern the three objectives, deer, hotel, and poetry.
Thus we ought to say, " He gave me only three shillings," and not " He only gave me three shil- lings," because- only modifies three, and not gave. This rule applies also to compound adverbs, such as at least, in like manner, at random, in part, etc. Thus we have the combinations out from, up to, down to, etc. In the sentence, " He walked up to me," the adverb up does not modify walked, but the prepositional phrase to me.
The prepositions save and except are really verbs in the imperative mood. Thus we find in Shakespeare — " Ten thousand men that fishes gnawed upon. Thus we cannot say, " This is different to that," because it is bad English to say " This differs to that. The following is a list of some of these Special prepositions: Adapted for by nature. Agree with a person. Agree to a proposal. Change for a thing. Change with a person. Convenient to a person. Convenient for a purpose. Correspond with a person. Correspond to a thing. Dependent on but independent of.
Differ from a statement or opinion. Differ with a person. Disappointed of what we cannot get.
Disappointed in what we have got. Exception from a rule. Exception to a statement. Glad of a possession. Glad at a piece of news. Martyr for a cause. Martyr to a disease. Need of or for. Part from a person. Part with a thing. Reconcile to a person. Reconcile with a statement. A taste for art. Thirst for or after knowledge. Rule XLVL — The Conjunction does not interfere with the action of a transitive verb or preposition, nor with the mood or tense of a verb.
Such a rule is therefore totally artificial. The following are a few examples: Thus we can say, "Are you sure he is here'? When a group of words makes complete sense, it is called a sentence. A sentence is not a chance collection of words ; it is a true organism, with a heart and limbs. The process of thus taking a sen- tence to pieces, and naming and accounting for each piece, is called analysis. But when we put words or phrases together to make a sentence, we perform an act of composition or of synthesis.
A sentence is a statement made about something, as, The horse gallops. Every sentence consists, and must consist, of at least two parts. These two parts are the thing we speak about and what we say about that thing. In language, the two ideas of Subject and Predicate are necessarily coexistent ; neither can exist without the other; we cannot even think the one without the other. They are the two polei of thought. There are three kinds of sentences: Simple, Compound, and Complex. A Simple Sentence is a sentence which consists of one subject and one predicate.
If we say, "Baby likes to dance," there are two verbs in this simple sentence. But to dance is not a finite verb ; it is an infinitive ; it is practically a pure noun, and cannot therefore be a predicate. Hence it is called a contracted compound sentence — contracted in the predicate. In this case the sentence may be treated as Simple, " James and John" forming a Compound Subject to the Predicate "ran off.
Sentences differ in the Form which they take. As re- gards form they may be classified as follows: Not a drum was heard. They oaught never a one. In the cases of Interrogative or Exclamatory sentences, in which the usual order of the words is changed for the sake of emphasis or effect, the sentences should be put in assertive straightforward order for the purpose of analysis, thus: The river flows how swiftly? In imperative sentences the subject is usually omitted. In this sentence "Sir" is really a nominative of address, and the real subject " you " is not expressed.
Note how the Optative differs from tho merely Assertive. May God bless us Optative ; and God blesses us Assertive. The Subject of a sentence is what we speak about. What we speak about we must name. If we name a thing, we must use a name or noun. Therefore the subject must always be either — i A noun ; or ii Some word or words equivalent to a noun.
Sote i The Subject is sometimes composite — consisting of two or more words. To seize my gun and to fire was the work of a moment. To them his heart, his love, his griefs, were given. A travessia PDF Download. Free Policing White-Collar Crime: Free XBRL e informativa aziendale.
