I am no grammar guru, but I have grown in my love and appreciation of grammar over the years. Today I happened upon a thought-provoking post about grammar, which said in part:
Grammar is where God, man, the soul, thinking, knowledge, and the cosmos all come together.
Grammar is based on the link between something that exists and something that applies to something that exists.
You can read the whole, short post, by Andrew Kern, here.
The Creator of the universe chose to reveal Himself to us in language. What a gift! And understanding how language in general, and any one language in particular, works, is to delve into the beauty of the very mind of God.
Now, if I can just oass that along to my composition students...
