“’While I of things to come, As past rehearsing, sing.’—­POLLOK.  That is, ’While I sing of things to come, as if I were rehearsing things that are past.’”—­Kirkham cor. “A simple sentence usually has in it but one nominative, and but one finite verb.”—­Folker cor. “An irregular verb is a verb that does not form the preterit and the perfect participle by assuming d or ed.”—­Brown’s Inst., p. 75.  “But, when the antecedent is used in a restricted sense, a comma is sometimes inserted before the relative; as, ’There is no charm in the female sex, which can supply the place of virtue.’”—­L.  Murray’s Gram., p. 273.  Or:  “But, when the antecedent is used in a restricted sense, no comma is usually inserted before the relative; as, ’There is in the female sex no charm which can supply the place of virtue.’”—­Kirkham cor. “Two capitals used in this way, denote different words; but one repeated, marks the plural number:  as, L.
