 Re: the strange OF and FOR
In the discussion of grammar, one thing has sprung to my mind.
Hamlet: sleeping in mine orchard, a serpent stung me.
of course the subject doesn't agree with the action SLEEPING.
Two non-Englishmen famous for teaching English had different opinions.
A: This sentence by Shakespeare is correct, only time has changed.
B: This sentence is grammatically wrong.
I wonder which one's opinion is correct? Was there anything like grammar in 15th century?( I presume NO, but I am not sure |
