Daily Lesson 18
Using est and eth endings on verbs:
In general, verbs following the explicit or implied use of the second
person singular pronoun (thou) end with est, and verbs following the
explicit or implied use of the third person singular pronoun (he, she,
they) will end with eth.
I go now to the list field.
Thou goest now to Merchants Row.
She goeth to the feast hall.
Doth and dost follow the same linguistic rule, doth with thou, and
doth with he, she and they.
I do go to the list field.
Dost thou go to Merchants Row?
They doth go to the feast hall.
Shakespearian Word/Phrase of the Day:

I have a mighty thirst. Come, let us crush a cup together!
