and always to omit a relative when of the nominative case.”—­Id., ib., p. 130.  “In every sentence there must be a verb and a nominative (or subject) expressed or understood.”—­Id., ib., p. 87; Pract.  Lessons, p. 91.  “Nouns and pronouns, and especially words denoting time, are often governed by prepositions understood; or are used to restrict verbs or adjectives without a governing word, Sec.50.  Rem. 6 and Rule; as, He gave (to) me a full account of the whole affair.”—­Bullions, E. Gram., p. 80.  “When should is used instead of ought, to express present duty, Sec.20, 4, it may be followed by the present; as, ’You should study that you may become learned.’”—­Id., ib., p. 123.  “The indicative present is frequently used after the words, when, till, before, as soon as, after, to express the relative time of a future action; (Sec.24, I, 4,) as, ’When he comes, he will be welcome.’”—­Id., ib., p. 124.  “The relative is parsed by stating its gender, number, case, and antecedent, (the gender and number being always the same as those of the antecedent) thus, ‘The boy who.’ ‘Who’ is a relative pronoun, masculine, singular, the nominative, and refers to ‘boy’ as its antecedent.”—­Bullions, Pract.  Les., p. 31.

   “Now, now, I seize, I clasp thy charms,
    And now you burst; ah! cruel from my arms.”

Here is an unnecessary change from the second person singular to the second plural.  It would have been better thus,

   “Now, now I seize, I clasp your charms,
    And now you burst; ah! cruel from my arms.”
        —­J.  Burn’s Gram., p. 193.

SECTION IX.—­THE OTHER MARKS.

There are also several other marks, which are occasionally used for various purposes, as follow:—­

I. [’] The APOSTROPHE usually denotes either the possessive case of a noun, or the elision of one or more letters of a word:  as, “The girl’s regard to her parents’ advice;”—­’gan, lov’d, e’en, thro’; for began, loved, even, through.  It is sometimes used in pluralizing a mere letter or sign; as, Two a’s—­three 6’s.[467]

II. [-] The HYPHEN connects the parts of many compound words, especially such as have two accents; as, ever-living.  It is also frequently inserted where a word is divided into syllables; as, con-tem-plate.  Placed at the end of a line, it shows that one or more syllables of a word are can led forward to the next line.

III. [”] The DIAERESIS, or DIALYSIS, placed over either of two contiguous vowels, shows that they are not a diphthong; as, Danaee, aerial.

IV. [’] The ACUTE ACCENT marks the syllable which requires the principal stress in pronunciation; as, e’qual, equal’ity.  It is sometimes used in opposition to the grave accent, to distinguish a close or short vowel; as, “Fancy:”  (Murray:) or to denote the rising inflection of the voice; as, “Is it he?”
