,a ,short ,system ,,of ,english ,,grammar4 ,for the use of the ,,boarding ,,school ,in ,,worcester4 ,by ,,henry ,,bate ,a4 ,b4 ,worcester3 ,printed by ,r4 ,,lewis1 ,bookseller1 in ,high-,street4 ,,the ,,preface4 ,usage and ,custom are the ,rules and ,measures of every ,language1 and the ,rules of ,,grammar have nothing more to do1 than to teach it4 ,the ,,grammar is to be fashioned from the particular ,language1 it treats of1 and not the ,language from the ,,grammar4 ,for want of following this regular ,plan1 our ,modern ,,grammarians have introduced the ,,grammar ,rules of other ,languages into their own2 as if all ,language was founded on ,,grammar1 and the ,rules in one ,language would serve the same ,end and ,purpose in another4 ,the ,latin1 for ,instance1 has only eight ,parts of ,speech1 and the ,writers of ,english ,,grammar have unthinkingly adopted the same ,number2 whereas with the ,article1 which the ,latin has not1 and which is of great ,service in a ,language1 we have no less than nine4 ,the ,latin admits of ,cases2 but as different ,cases1 properly speaking1 are nothing more than the different ,inflections and ,terminations of ,nouns1 ,english ,nouns have no ,cases4 ,it is not agreeable to the ,principles of ,,grammar to say that--of a ,rose--is the ,genitive ,case of--,rose1 or--to a ,rose1 the ,dative2 for of and to are no ,part of the ,word ,rose1 but only prefix ,particles or ,prepositions1 which shew the different ,relation of the ,word ,rose4 ,so likewise when we say ,alexander's ,horse1 the ,word ,alexander's is not the ,genitive ,case of ,alexander2 for strictly speaking the 's is no ,part of the ,word ,alexander but the final ,letter of the ,pronoun ,possessive his1 and without the ,apostrophe we shou'd read it thus2 ,alexander his ,horse4 ,if any of the ,parts of ,speech have ,cases1 the ,pronouns have1 and some of the ,pronouns may perhaps have two2 but for the ,sake of making every ,thing as easy as ,i can to the ,learner1 ,i have taken the ,liberty of distinguishing such ,pronouns into ,prefix and ,subsequent1 and entirely laid aside ,cases as useless and unnecessary4 ,the ,latin has ,genders1 the ,adjective in that ,language always varying to correspond with the ,substantive2 but our,adjectives never vary1 and therefore the ,distinction of ,genders has nothing to do with ,english ,,grammar1 but is idle1 trifling1 impertinent4 ,,experience shews1 that this ,sort of pedantick ,ignorance and ,folly1 has made that dark and obscure1 which it was intended to elucidate1 and unhappily puzzled and perplexed a great many more1 than it has ever instructed4 ,every attempt to make ,english easy must be fruitless1 that is not formed upon a different ,plan1 and such is the following short ,system of ,english ,,grammar4 ,a ,short ,system ,,of ,english ,,grammar4 ,of ,,grammar and it's ,,divisions4 ,grammar is the ,science of ,letters or ,language1 and is the ,art of ,speaking and ,writing properly4 ,it's ,divisions are four2 ,,orthography ,,analogy ,,prosody ,,syntax ,of ,,orthography4 ,orthography comprehends ,writing1 and ,articulation4 ,articulation treats of ,simple ,sounds1 which are made by the ,organs of ,speech1 and by which we communicate our ,ideas and ,sentiments to one another4 ,writing represents the ,living ,speech1 and makes as it were these ,sounds and ,sentiments visible4 ,of ,,prosody4 ,prosody treats of ,pronunciation with respect of ,accent1 ,time1 and ,quantity4 ,but as the ,science of ,letters1 ,sounds1 and ,pronunciation is instilled into the ,minds of the ,english ,youth very early in ,life1 and as this ,,grammar is not intended for the ,use of ,foreigners1 but for them2 ,i shall not trifle away their ,time1 in teaching them1 what they cannot be supposed to be unacquainted with2 but proceed to the third ,part of ,,grammar called ,analogy4 ,of ,,analogy4 ,analogy is the mutual ,relation1 or ,agreement of ,words with one another1 and treats of all the ,parts of ,speech1 which in ,english are nine4 ,article ,verb ,conjunction ,noun ,participle ,preposition ,pronoun ,adverb ,interjection ,of ,an ,,article4 ,an ,article is a ,part of ,speech put before ,nouns to ascertain and fix their ,vague ,signification4 ,there are three ,articles1 a1 an1 and the4 ,a and an are ,indefinite ,articles and applied to ,persons or ,things indifferently2 as an ,oyster1 a ,prince4 ,the ,article the distinguishes individually or particularly2 as the ,oyster1 the ,prince4 ,of a ,,noun4 ,a ,noun is a ,part of ,speech which expresses the ,subject spoke of2 as ,ink1 ,paper1 ,witness4 ,a ,noun is either ,substantive1 or ,adjective4 ,a ,noun ,substantive is the ,name of a ,thing considered simply in itself1 and without any ,regard to it's ,qualities2 as a ,man1 a ,woman1 a ,child4 ,a ,noun ,adjective is a ,word added to the ,noun ,substantive1 expressing the ,circumstance or ,quality thereof2 as a good ,man1 an old ,woman1 a young ,child4 ,of a ,,pronoun4 ,a ,pronoun is a ,part of ,speech substituted in the ,place of a ,noun1 to avoid the frequent and disagreeable ,repetition of the same ,word2 as the ,bird is joyous1 he chirps1 he sings2 which without the ,pronoun wou'd be thus2 the ,bird is joyous1 the ,bird chirps1 the ,bird sings4 ,,pronouns ,,personal4 ,i ,he ,myself ,i myself ,me ,him ,yourself ,you yourself ,you ,she ,thyself ,thou thyself ,thou ,her ,himself ,he himself ,thee ,one's self ,herself ,she herself ,,pronouns ,,relative4 ,who1 whose1 whom1 what1 which4 ,,pronouns ,,demonstrative4 ,this1 that4 ,,pronouns ,,possessive4 ,my ,ours ,your ,theirs ,mine ,thy ,yours ,her ,our ,thine ,his ,hers ,of ,,number4 ,number expresses the ,difference betwixt one ,thing and many1 and is either ,singular or ,plural4 ,when a ,thing is considered as single1 or a ,multitude of ,things considered as united together1 it is of the ,singular ,number2 as a ,man1 a ,troop4 ,when several ,things are considered as distinct from each other it is of the ,plural ,number1 as ,men1 ,soldiers4 ,the ,plural is usually formed in ,noun ,substantives by adding s to the ,singular2 as ,article ,articles1 ,noun ,nouns4 ,but when the ,pronunciation requires it1 or when the ,singular ends in s1 x1 sh1 or ch1 the ,plural is usually formed by adding the ,syllable es2 as ,ass ,asses1 ,fox ,foxes1 ,sash ,sashes1 ,church ,churches4 ,when the ,singular ends in f or fe1 the ,plural is usually form'd by changing the f or fe into ves2 as ,wife ,wives1 ,self ,selves4 ,sometimes the ,plural is formed by adding the ,syllable en2 as ,ox ,oxen2 sometimes by changing the ,vowel2 as ,man ,men2 and sometimes the ,vowels and ,consonants2 as ,penny ,pence1 ,mouse ,mice1 ,louse ,lice4 ,some of the ,pronouns form their ,plural very irregular2 as ,i ,we1 ,me ,us1 ,thou ,ye1 ,thee ,you1 ,he ,they1 ,him ,them1 ,she ,they1 ,her ,them4 ,some ,nouns have no ,singular ,number2 as ,scissors1 the ,east-,indies1 the ,west-,indies4 ,some have no ,plural2 the ,names of ,kingdoms for ,instance2 as ,england1 ,ireland1 ,portugal4 ,cities1 ,towns and ,villages2 as ,worcester1 ,kinver1 ,hagley4 ,seas1 and ,rivers2 as the ,mediterranean1 ,severn4 ,wheat1 ,barley1 ,gold1 ,silver1 ,pewter1 and a great many ,words1 that cannot be reduced to any ,rule want the ,plural ,number2 as ,ale1 ,beer1 ,bread1 ,butter1 ,honey1 ,milk1 ,hunger1 ,thirst1 ,drunkenness4 ,the ,termination of some ,nouns is the same both in the ,singular and ,plural2 as a ,sheep1 a ,swine1 a ,flock of ,sheep1 a ,herd of ,swine1 c4 ,of ,,comparison4 ,comparison is the comparing the different ,circumstances of ,persons or ,things with each other1 and serves to alter the ,signification of a ,word1 either by a gradual ,increase1 or a gradual ,diminution2 as long longer longest1 short shorter shortest4 ,,adjectives1 ,adverbs1 and ,substantives1 have three ,degrees of ,comparison1 the ,positive1 the ,comparative1 and the ,superlative4 ,the ,positive lays down the ,natural ,signification simply and without excess or ,diminution2 as long1 short1 often4 ,the ,comparative raises or lowers the ,positive in ,signification1 and is formed of the ,positive by adding the ,syllable er2 as long longer1 short shorter1 often oftener4 ,the ,superlative raises or lowers the ,signification as much as possible1 and if formed of the ,positive by adding the ,syllable est2 as long longest1 short shortest1 often oftenest4 ,sometimes they are compared by the ,adverbs very1 infinitely2 and the ,adjectives more1 most2 less1 least2 as long1 very long1 infinitely long2 short1 more short1 most short2 commonly1 less commonly1 least commonly4 ,these ,adjectives deviate from the general ,rule1 good better best1 bad worse worst1 little less least1 much more most4 ,,substantives are compared by the ,adjectives more1 most1 the ,words than1 or that1 always following2 as a ,dunce1 more a ,dunce than ,i or me1 the most a ,dunce that ever ,i did see4 ,of a ,,verb4 ,a ,verb is a ,part of ,speech1 which serves to express1 what we affirm of1 or attribute to any ,subject1 and is either ,active or ,passive4 ,a ,verb ,active is that which expresses an ,action2 as ,i kick1 ,i see4 ,a ,verb ,passive is that which receives the ,action or expresses the ,passion2 as ,i am kick'd1 ,i am seen4 ,a ,verb has two ,numbers the ,singular and the ,plural2 and three ,persons in each ,number2 as ,i am1 thou art1 he is4 ,we are1 ye are1 they are4 ,the same is to be observed in every ,mood and in every ,tense but in the ,infinitive1 which has neither ,number nor ,person4 ,of ,,moods4 ,a mood is the ,manner of conjugating ,verbs agreeably to the different ,actions or ,affections to be expressed4 ,there are four ,moods1 the ,indicative1 the ,imperative1 the ,conjunctive1 and the ,infinitive4 ,the ,indicative ,mood expresseth the ,action or ,passion simply directly and absolutely2 as ,i love1 ,i have loved1 ,i will love4 ,the ,imperative commands or forbids2 as come1 go1 begone4 ,the ,conjunctive expresses the ,action or ,passion conditionally and is always joined with the ,indicative1 or the same ,mood2 as ,i will love you1 if you wou'd love me2 ,i wou'd dance1 if you wou'd dance4 ,the ,infinitive expresses the ,action or ,passion indeterminately without any ,regard to ,time1 ,place1 ,number1 or ,person2 as to love1 to be loved4 ,of the ,,tenses4 ,tense is an ,inflection of ,verbs1 whereby they are made to signify1 and distinguish the ,circumstance of ,time4 ,there are five ,tenses1 the ,present ,tense1 the ,preterimperfect1 the ,preterperfect1 the ,preterpluperfect1 and the ,future4 #a4 ,the ,present ,tense expresses the ,time1 that now is2 as ,i sup4 #b4 ,the ,preterimperfect ,tense denotes the historical ,relation of a past ,action1 but yet not perfectly compleated1 when joined to another ,action that is perfectly compleated2 as when or while ,i supped he came in4 #c4 ,the ,preterperfect ,tense expresses the ,time ,past perfectly2 as ,i have supped4 #d4 ,the ,preterpluperfect ,tense expresses the ,time ,past doubly2 as ,i had supped4 #e4 ,the ,future ,tense expresses the ,time to come2 as ,i shall sup1 ,i will sup4 ,of the ,,conjugation4 ,conjugation is the ,variation of ,verbs through all their ,moods and ,tenses2 and the ,english ,verbs are chiefly conjugated by auxiliary ,signs2 as to love2 or by auxiliary ,verbs2 as ,i am loved1 ,i have loved4 ,of the ,,auxiliary ,,signs4 ,the auxiliary ,signs are ,words that serve to express the ,variations of the ,verb4 ,the ,imperative ,mood has the ,signs do1 let2 as--do thou love1 let him love4 ,the ,infinitive ,mood has the ,signs to1 about2 as to love1 about to love4 ,the other ,moods have the auxiliary ,signs following4 ,singular #ast ,person ,i do1 did1 must1 may1 can1 might1 wou'd1 cou'd1 shou'd1 shall1 or will4 #b;d ,person ,thou do'st1 did'st1 must1 may'st1 can'st1 might'st1 wou'd'st1 cou'd'st1 shou'd'st1 shalt or wilt4 #c;d ,person ,he does1 or do'th1 did1
