Iโm happy to present another title in the Grammaticus Free Library series: โSquirrelโ by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman. The PDF comes with vocabulary notes and a grammar exercise on non-standard, dialectal forms used by the author.
A mistake I often hear in conversation classes has to do with the choice of preposition before the nouns 'beginning' and 'end'. Did something something happen โin the beginningโ or โat the beginningโ? And what happened โin the endโ? Or is it โat the endโ?
It's the spring equinox and the time for another quarterly ebook. This time it's "Departure" - a short story by Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941), American novelist and short story writer best known for his book " Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small Town Life."
The short poem presented here was first published in Roberts' collection โThe Book of the Nativeโ in 1896. Set in the cold and silent month of February, it captures the tension between winterโs stillness and the hidden vitality of the coming spring.
