	Grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The subfields of contemporary grammar are phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
		The formal study of grammar is an important part of education from a young age through advanced learning, though the rules taught in schools are not a "grammar" in the sense most linguists use the term, as they are often prescriptive rather than descriptive.

	English grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		English is a subject verb object (SVO) language: it prefers a sequence of subject–verb–object in its simplest, unmarked declarative statements.
		Generally, English is a head-initial language, meaning that the "anchor" of a phrase (segment of a sentence) occurs at the beginning of the phrase.
		English also has a means of converting adjectives into adverbs: the addition of the suffix <-ly> changes an adjective to an adverb (in addition to moving it to the appropriate place in a sentence).

	Archaic English Grammar -- dan.tobias.name
		The Old English of AD 800 looks completely foreign to modern English speakers, and our descendants in the year 3200 probably will think the same of the English we use now.
		Usually what people mean by "archaic English" is the variety that was spoken around AD 1500, when the language was transitioning from "Middle English" to "Modern English", so that's what I use here.
		To further complicate the use of pronouns, English in the period in question made a distinction in second-person pronouns depending on whether you were addressing somebody in a familiar or formal mode.

	Old English Language Grammar by Cyril Babaev
		However, Old English is sometimes moving further in developing the phonetics, and that is why some of its models are a bit hard to trace back to the Common Germanic period.
		Old English, as well as practically all Germanic tongues, is not conservative at all: it witnessed quite an extensive use of analytic forms in place of older inflections and lost many others.
		But then, oddly, Old English must have "recalled" this archaic instrumental, even though it was to exist for not too long a time and disappeared as early as the 10th century, even before the Norman conquest and subsequent transformation of the English language into its Middle stage.

		Probably because English teachers, for decades – no, for centuries – have been making a big deal out of grammar in classrooms, diagramming sentences and drilling the parts of speech, clauses, and verbals into students until they beg for mercy.
		English Grammar for Dummies helped to refresh my memory, as well teach me a few things that I did not learn from my high school english teacher.
