Explanatory Notes to Grammatical
 Construction. {
 No. 1.-"This is between you and me- is correct. because between" is a pre- position, and a proposition is always followed either by U noun or a pro- noun. which is in the objective case. "Me" is correct instead of TT because it is in the objective case.
 No. 2.-4The same rule obtains in the sentence This is for you and me-" ''for' being a proposition 1t is as incor- rect to say This Is for you and r. as it would be to say This is for l."
 No. 3--"All those kinds of things is correct because kinds is a plural noun and those being in this sentence deti- mite adjective it must agree in number with the noun to which it belongs.
 One may say All that kind of thing or Ali those kinds of things" All that sort of thing" CT All those sorts of things.'
 4.-"I feel bad" Is correct because the verb in this sentence does not express action. consequently the adjective bad is required and not the adverd badly. One may act badly. walk badly, slowly, rapidly, but one feels bad. sad or glad. The verbs of the senses, 7"feel, look. taste. smell. sound, have each an active and an inactive form.
 The verb-To feel.
 Action--'I felt my way carefully down the dark corridor" In a figurative sense I felt my way carefully before presenting the subject glad. feel happy.
 Feel in this sense expresses q con dition. but not action, The verb-To look.
 Action-"I looked laushingly at her. or angrily at her. In a fgurative sense "I looked into the matter carefully"
 In action-You look sad. You look bad. You look nice. You look happy.
 Look" in this sense expresses ap- pearance. but not action.
 The verb--To taste.
 Action-"He had not tasted food for hours"
 Figuratively--"He made a VOW never again to taste the pleasures of the world" r
 Inaction-The milk tastes sour
 The milk is not doing the tasting. No. 5-The verb-To smell.
 Action-"I smelled the sweet odor of violets"
 Inaction-"The flower smells sweet" The flower is not smelling any other flower.
 The verb-To sound. .a t. .--
 Action-"The physician sounded her lungs" .
 Inaction-"The music sounds sweet"
 The mIsic is not performing the act of sounding.
 No. 6.-"She spoke i'll of you is cor rect" because i'll is an adverb as well as an adjective. lily Is obsolete. III in this sentence is an adverb because spoke is verb of action.
 You look ill'-ilI in this sentence is an adjective because look in the sense of appear is a verb of inaction. No. ITO try to come,' is correct, because "try" requires the infinite form of some verb to complete its meaning. T will play and sing"-in this sentence play and sing express two distinct ac- tions; run and jump express two ac- tlonS. A person cannot en0eaVor ana come any more than he can try and come; he will endeavor to come and he will try to come or try to think or try to sing. etc.
 No.S.-"he doesn't like to do it," is correct. because the conjunction is sim gular number-first person. do not or l don't; second person. you do not or you don't; third person, he does not or he doesn't.
 Note-Contractions-I don't, shan't, CA 1t. etc.. are allowable in easy con- versational style of utterances.
 No. 9-"The bell doesn't ring Is cor rect. for doesn't Is. third person, singu- lar number
 No. 10-"Neither he nor was at home" is correct. because neither and nor are correspondin" nrrelative con- functions. just as either and "or' are used correlatively.
 No. 11-"There were many people be- sides me" is correct. because beside" is obsolete unless 1t is used in the sense of at ones side. "He Is sitting beside her" is correct. but there were many people besides me" when one means that there were many others present.
