Thou, Thee, Thy, Thine & Ye: Meanings & Usage

In works of old, high-fantasy or historic fiction one may have chanced across the strange words: thou, thee, thy, thine and ye. Whilst most people understand the jist of the words (that they all refer to people), the way each is to be correctly (formally) deployed is somewhat more difficult. In Old English, we had: Thou = 2nd person singular subject (like du in German) Ye = 2nd person plural subject (like ihr in German) Thee = 2nd person singular object (like dich in German) You = 2nd person plural object (like euch in German) Thou = you when the subject (“Thou liketh writing.”) Thee = you when the object (“Writing liketh thee.”) Thy = your possessive form of you.

Other substitutions could include an adjective used as a noun, as in "She dove into the foaming wet," interjection as verb, as in "Don't aha me!" a verb as a noun, as in "Help! I need some eat!" and so on. Anthimeria is common in English. Fo...

SIMPLE PRESENT

The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding ‑s or ‑es to the end. EXAMPLE: I feel great! Pauline loves pie. I’m sorry to hear that you’re sick.
