Answer: What Are the Rules for Archaic Declension and Conjugation?

Feb 24, 2014 07:06

Reader garonne asked us "What are the rules for archaic declension and conjugation? (thou, art, etc.)" Although we can't present all the details of Early Modern English in the scope of a Fandom Grammar article, we'll take look at some of the most characteristic features of this romantic-sounding ancestor of the language that we use here today.
( With the help of the cast of the classic fairy tale 'Snow White' ... )
