Fun with English

Lessons My Grammar Taught Me
·       A dangling participle walks into a bar.
·       Enjoying a cocktail and chatting with the bartender, the evening passes pleasantly.
·       A bar was walked into by the passive voice.
·       Two quotation marks walk into a “bar.”
·       A malapropism walks into a bar, looking for all intensive purposes like a wolf in cheap clothing, muttering epitaphs and casting dispersions on his magnificent other, who takes him for granite.
·       A mixed metaphor walks into a bar, seeing the handwriting on the wall but hoping to nip it in the bud.
·       Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They converse. They depart.
·       A synonym strolls into o tavern.
·       The subjunctive would have walked into a bar, had it only known.
·       A misplaced modifier walks into a bar owned by a man with a glass eye named Ralph.
·       The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.
·       A verb walks into a bar, sees a beautiful noun, and suggests they conjugate. The noun declines.
·       Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything.
Questions My Grammar Asked Me
·       What if there were no hypothetical questions?
·       Is there another word for synonym?
·       Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?
·       How is it possible to have a civil war?
·       If a parsley former is sued, can they garnish his wages?
·       If you were to eat pasta and antipasto at the same time, would you still be hungry?
