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 verb pattern is a grammatical structure that follows a verb in a sentence.
