A Look into the Past

Methinks that along with the evolution of life, comes the evolution of grammar. A look into the past would not hurt. I came across the short story, David Swan by Nathaniel Hawthorne, which was written during the nineteenth century. I realized how much grammar has changed since then. Read it!

  1. When I saw your title, I just had a flashback of my 16 years, 6 months, and 19 days here on Earth. I am so happy that I had a lot to remember and I am so gracious to God that He still has given me the opportunity to live. Of course, I will cherish the gift and make the best out of it. :)

  5. Change is related to growth. English has grown this much because of change.

  7. As I scan the short story, I did not see many changes with the grammar except the "methinks" word.
