• Shakespeare’s English
(technically called Early Modern
racks 14 and 15 today’s English, specifically
English) is rather different from
because it had a special
conjugation for 2nd person
informal and a different one for

person formal is the conjugation
T 2nd person formal. The 2nd
that has persisted to the present.
The 2nd person informal had
a special set of pronouns: thou
(for subjects), thee (for direct
object and after prepositions),
thy (used before nouns to
indicate possession) and thine
(a possessive pronoun, used
as mine). Also, verbs were
conjugated differently by adding
an -est at the end of said verbs
(for example, thou wanderest,
thou growest).
• Encourage your students to use
the reading time to make mental
images of themselves reading
the poems aloud, so they can
prepare to read the poem they
choose aloud.
