Hey everyone!

I want to know the main differences between Shakespeare's grammar and our own.

The trouble is, when I search for that information all I find is discussions about whether Shakey had "bad grammar" or "didn't bother with grammar".

Can you help?

Lack of do-support

Thou/You

More inflections to verbs (wert, werst etc)

whence/hence/ thence/whither/ hither etc

SOV or OVS not SVO

Nothing more from me shalt thou get. Henceforth thou on thine own art.

Thanks Juan, you're the man.
