When I was at school I was taught English grammar; I was also taught French and Latin and Greek grammar. Looking back, I recognise that the insights I gained into the working of English grammar came chiefly from the foreign languages, and the chief one in this for me was Latin, because you actually had to puzzle out how word endings related to each other and the order of words was different (unlike French or English). I sometimes wonder whether English grammar is still taught? 8-( Michael Harding Rev. Preb. M.D. Harding riscos@mdharding.org.uk
