GRAMMAR

Is it grammar you're after
what comes first, in front of
or behind - in, on, or at?

Verbs, adjectives and nouns
conjunctions to vex your young mind
prepositions for a tired old brain;

colons, semi-colons, apostrophes
full-stops and question marks
so much to learn, where to start?

What happened to all your free talk?
Learning English a walk in the park,
a country garden?

Chinese English, Indian English
American and British - hard, isn't it?

Pronunciation enunciation elocution,
Professor Higgins of My Fair Lady fame
English grammar is food and drink to him;
you must learn to play his word games.

Verbs and nouns, how about 'gerunds'
where does that word comes from?
Probably the Advanced Oxford English
Dictionary. Ask your teacher or your Mum!

There ya go! Because of all the rules of the English language, I think outside the box. I won't use very much, if any, punctuation because I don't want to! I had that album, "Ma Fair Lady" when I was around 14 and would listen to, "Wouldn't It Be 'Loverly'"........

Love ya!

Jane
