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.
