Shakespearean Grammar Practice Get a whiteboard, a marker and a tissue to erase!

Syllables It was important for Shakespeare to know how many syllables in each word so he could make sure each line had 10 syllables How figure out syllables How many times can you clap while you say the word? How many vowels does it have? Example…3 vowels so ex/am/ple

Secretary Sec/ret/ar/y

Baseball Base/ball

love Love

Contractions This is when an apostrophe is used to either combine two words Take letters out of a word to make it shorter

‘Twere It were

Ne’er Never

O’er Over

E’en Even

‘tis and is’t It is Is it

‘twill It will

Truncations When a word is shortened by removing letters, usually from the end of the word

Ope open

oft often

Adding accents Accents show which part of a word should be stressed For example, Beyoncé has an accent over it to show that the e should be pronounced…otherwise her name would be BE-YONS Banished = Banishéd Punished = punishéd This is done to give words an extra syllable so they fit with the pattern of Iambic Pentameter

SEC/re/tar/y Sec/RE/tar/y Sec/re/TAR/y

LIND/say Lind/SAY

balance BAL/ance

Rearranging Grammar He had to mess with Grammar to make the rhythm correct Instead of “He went to school before the sun was up” he’d write “to school ‘fore the day was dawn he travelled”

I would not for the world they saw thee here! For all the world, I would not have them see you here!

By whose direction found’st thou out this place? Who gave you directions to find this place?

Changing endings Adding –est, -th, -st to the end of the word is the same as adding an s or es This was just the way they talked!

Doth Does

Hath Has

Hearest hears

Quoth quotes

Fall’st Falls

Whither Where

Hither Here

Thither there

Wilt Will
