Part 161 (1/2)

19 Does a singular antecedent ever adree with its antecedent in one sense and not in an other? 21 If the antecedent is a collective noun conveying the idea of plurality, must the pronoun always be plural? 22 If there are two or more antecedents connected by _and_, must the pronoun always be plural? 23 If there are antecedents connected by _or_ or _nor_, is the pronoun always to take theree with its nominative in number and person? 25 If the no the idea of plurality, must the verb always be plural? 26 If there are two or more nominatives connected by _and_, must the verb always be plural? 21 If there are nominatives connected by _or_ or _nor_, is the verb always to refer to them separately? 28 Does the preposition _to_ before the infinitive always govern the verb? 29 Can the preposition _to_ govern or precede any other mood than the infinitive? 30 Is the preposition _to_ ”understood” after _bid, dare, feel_, and so forth, where it is ”superfluous and improper?” 31 Howparticiples? 32 How many and what exceptions are there to the rule for adverbs? 33 How many and what exceptions are there to the rule for conjunctions? 34 How many and what exceptions are there to the rule for prepositions? 35 Is there any exception to the 24th rule, concerning interjections?

LESSON XI--THE OBSERVATIONS

1 How eneral incapable of any agreement? 2 Can there be a syntactical relation of words without either agreereement between unrelated words? 4 Is theto the sense an elelish syntax? 5 What parts of speech have no other syntactical property than that of simple relation? 6

What rules of relation are corammars? 7 Of what parts is syntax corammars, the rules of syntax well adapted to their purpose? 9 Can you specify some that appear to be faulty? 10 Wherein consists _the truth_ of grae of what others teach? 11 Do those who speak of syntax as being divided into two parts, Concord and Government, commonly adhere to such division? 12 What false concords and false governments are cited in Obs 7th of the first chapter? 13 Is it often expedient to join in the same rule such principles as must always be applied separately? 14 When one can condense several different principles into one rule, is it not expedient to do so? 15 Is it ever convenient to have one and the same rule applicable to different parts of speech? 16 Is it ever convenient to have rules divided into parts, so as to be double or triple in their foriven in Obs 12th of the first chapter?

LESSON XII--THE OBSERVATIONS

18 Can a uniforlish, &c, be produced by a e? 19

Whose are ”The Principles of English Grammar” which Dr Bullions has republished with alterations, ”on the plan of Murray's Grammar?” 20 Can praise and success entitle to critical notice works in theree in their enumeration of the concords in Latin? 22 What is said in Obs 16th, of the plan of y? 23 Do not the principles of etyree, or disagree, except in sos to each of theovernoverning words, or to the governed? 27 What are gerundives? 28 Howto the head of sireelish syntax? 30 How rammars? 31 What fault is there in the usual distribution of these rules?

32 How lish syntax? 33 Can the parsing of words be varied by any transposition which does not change their i of words be affected by the parser's notion of what constitutes a simple sentence? 35 What explanation of simple and compound sentences is cited from Dr Wilson, in Obs 25? 36 What notion had Dr Adam of simple and compound sentences? 37 Is this doctrine consistent either with itself or with Wilson's? 38 How can one's notion of _ellipsis_ affect his , and his distinction of sentences as simple or compound?

LESSON XIII--ARTICLES

1 Can one noun have more than one article? 2 Can one article relate to more than one noun? 3 Why cannot the omission of an article constitute a proper ellipsis? 4 What is the position of the article with respect to its noun? 5 What is the usual position of the article with respect to an adjective and a noun? 6 Can the relative position of the article and adjective be a matter of indifference? 7 What adjectives exclude, or supersede, the article? 8 What adjectives precede the article? 9 What four adverbs affect the position of the article and adjective? 10 Do other adverbs come between the article and the adjective? 11 Can any of the definitives which preclude _an_ or _a_, be used with the adjective _one_?

12 When the adjective follows its noun, where stands the article? 13 Can the article in English, ever be placed after its noun? 14 What is the effect of the word _the_ before comparatives and superlatives? 15 What article may sometimes be used in lieu of a possessive pronoun? 16 Is the article _an_ or _a_ always supposed to ie differ froe of ancient writers? 18

Can the insertion or oreatly affect the import of a sentence? 19 By a repetition of the article before two or more adjectives, what other repetition is implied? 20 Hoe sometimes avoid such repetition? 21 Can there ever be an implied repetition of the noun when no article is used?

LESSON XIV--NOUNS, OR CASES

1 In how many different ways can the nominative case be used? 2 What is the usual position of the nominative and verb, and when is it varied? 3

With what noree?

4 Why is it thought improper to put a noun in two cases at once? 5 What case in Latin and Greek is reckoned _the subject_ of the infinitive eneral, be literally ilish authors adopt the Latin doctrine of the accusative (or objective) before the infinitive? 8 Is the objective, when it occurs before the infinitive in English, usually governed by some verb, participle, or preposition? 9 What is our nearest approach to the Latin construction of the accusative before the infinitive? 10 What is _apposition_, and from whom did it receive this name? 11 Is there a construction of like cases, that is not apposition? 12 To which of the apposite terms is the rule for apposition to be applied? 13 Are words in apposition always to be parsed separately? 14 Wherein are the common rule and definition of apposition faulty? 15 Can the explanatory word ever be placed first? 16 Is it ever indifferent, which word be called the principal, and which the explanatory tern, be put in apposition with each other? 18 Where n of possession be put, when two or more possessives are in apposition? 19 Is it compatible with apposition to supply between the words a relative and a verb; as, ”At Mr

Smith's [_who is_] the bookseller?” 20 How can a noun be, or seem to be, in apposition with a possessive pronoun? 21 What construction is produced by the _repetition_ of a noun or pronoun? 22 What is the construction of a noun, when it e sentence?

LESSON XV--NOUNS, OR CASES

23 Can words differing in number be in apposition with each other? 24

What is the usual construction of _each other_ and _one an other_? 25 Is there any argu _each other_ and _one an other_ for compounds? 26 Do we often put proper nouns in apposition with appellatives? 27 What preposition is often put between nouns that signify the sa? 28 When is an active verb followed by tords in apposition? 29 Does apposition require any other agreement than that of case? 30 What three modes of construction appear like exceptions to Rule 4th? 31 In the phrase, ”For _David_ overned by _sake_, and which is to be parsed by the rule of apposition?

32 In the sentence, ”It is _overn _man's_? 33 Does the possessive case admit of any abstract sense or construction? 34 Why is it reasonable to liovernment of the possessive to nouns only, or to words taken substantive? 35 Does the possessive case before a real participle denote the possessor of soard to the correctness of the phrases, ”_upon the rule's being observed_,” and ”_of its being neglected_?” 37 Is either of theument? 38 Is the distinction between the participial noun and the participle well preserved by Murray and his amenders? 39 Who invented the doctrine, that a participle and its adjuncts overn the possessive? 40 Have any popular authors adopted this doctrine? 41 Is the doctrine well sustained by its adopters, or is it consistent with the analogy of general graht to be the governing word or the adjunct,--that is, whether he ought to use the possessive case before it or the objective,--what shall he do? 43, What is objected to the sentences in which participles govern the possessive case, and particularly to the exaiven by Priestley, Murray, and others, to prove such a construction right? 44 Do the teachers of this doctrine agree aenerally dispose of such government? 46 Does he positively deterovern the possessive case?

LESSON XVI--NOUNS, OR CASES

47 Are the distinctions of voice and of tiarded in participial nouns as in participles? 48 Why cannot an on be accounted a true _ellipsis_? 49 What is the usual position of the possessive case, and what exceptions are there? 50 In what other for of the possessive case be expressed? 51 Is the possessive often governed by what is not expressed? 52 Does every possessive sign i noun? 53 How do con of possession always and only where the two tern be ever rightly added to a separate adjective? 56 What is said of the oular on account of its hissing sound? 57 What errors do Kirkhaular? 58 Why is Murray's rule for the possessive case objectionable? 59 Do co the possessive case appear to be written with sufficient uniforether are inserted in Obs 31st on Rule 4th? 61 Does the co of words necessarily preclude their separate use? 62 Is there a difference worth notice, between such ters as _heart-ease_ and _heart's-ease_; a _harelip_ and a _hare's lip_; a _headman_ and a _headsman_; a _lady's-slipper_ and a _lady's slipper_? 63 Where usage is utterly unsettled, what guidance should be sought? 64 What peculiarities are noticed in regard to the noun _side_? 65 What peculiarities has the possessive case in regard to correlatives? 66 What is remarked of the possessive relation between tiht, ether?

LESSON XVII--NOUNS, OR CASES

68 Are there any exceptions or objections to the old rule, ”Active verbs govern the objective case?” 69 Of how many different constructions is the objective case susceptible? 70 What is the usual position of the objective case, and what exceptions are there? 71 Can any thing but the governing of an objective noun or pronoun make an active verb transitive? 72 In the sentence, ”What _have_ I to _do_ with thee?” how are _have_ and _do_ to be parsed? 73 Can infinitives, participles, phrases, sentences, and parts of sentences, be really ”in the objective case?” 74 In the sentence, ”I _knohy_ she blushed,” how is _know_ to be parsed? 75 In the sentence, ”I _know that_ Messias cometh,” how are _know_ and _that_ to be parsed? 76 In the sentence, ”And _Simon_ he surnamed _Peter_”, how are _Simon_ and _Peter_ to be parsed? 77 In such sentences as, ”I paid _him_ the _money_,”--”He asked _them_ the _question_,” how are the two objectives to be parsed? 78 Does any verb in English ever govern two objectives that are not coupled? 79 Are there any of our passive verbs that can properly govern the objective case? 80 Is not our language like the Latin, in respect to verbs governing two cases, and passives retaining the latter?

81 How do our grammarians now dispose of what remains to us of the old Saxon dative case? 82 Do any reputable writers allow passive verbs to govern the objective case? 83 What says Lindley Murray about this passive governovern the objective case,” of no use to the composer? 85 On what is the construction of _same cases_ founded? 86 Does this construction admit of any variety in the position of the words? 87 Does an ellipsis of the verb or participle change this construction into apposition? 88 Is it ever right to put both terms before the verb? 89 What kinds of words can take different cases after theoverned by a preposition, have a case after it which is governed by neither? 91 How is the word _ exa _man_, I shall neither attempt to palliate, nor deny”

LESSON XVIII--NOUNS, OR CASES

92 In what kinds of examples do we meet with a doubtful case after a participle? 93 Is the case after the verb reckoned doubtful, when the subject going before is a sentence, or so not declinable by cases?

94 In the sentence, ”It is certainly as easy to be a _scholar_, as a _gaamester_, and why? 95 Are there any verbs that soovern the objective? 96 What faults are there in the rules given by _Lowth, Murray, Smith_, and others, for the construction of _like cases_? 97 Can a preposition ever govern any thing else than a noun or a pronoun? 98 Is every thing that a preposition governs, necessarily supposed to have cases, and to be in the objective? 99 Why or wherein is the coovern the objective case,” defective or insufficient? 100
