I used the following clue in a crossword puzzle I made last year Archived Message

The puzzle was for a writer, and I included some language-related clues, including this: "Tense of 'I have finished the task.'" Previous Message younger than I that knows what diagramming a sentence is, let alone how to do it. I remember it being really tough but it absolutely gave me fantastic grammar skills. Actually, now that I'm remembering it, we had two English classes. One was very obviously for the better students and the other one was for everyone else. Our class diagrammed sentences and did some challenging stuff. I know for a fact that the other class never diagrammed a sentence. Just my musings. ~hansel~ Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message
