I must confess, I am a complete grammar geek. I love talking about grammar. I love picking apart sentences. Mostly, I love relating English grammar to foreign language grammar. Who can deny the lure of a gerund?
Tonight I sat in White Castle, munching my mini fish sandwiches, and discussed subjunctive mood verbs with a friend. But the discussion didn’t finish with subjunctive, I further confused my friend with a discussion of other verb moods, namely indicative and imperative. I also taught him the love of parsing a verb. This stuff gives me chills.
If you can conjugate verbs in Spanish, German, Latin, English, or another language, then join me. Grammarians of the world, unite! (How’s that for a conditional sentence followed by an imperative statement?)
