Old grammar forms live on in American English
I&#x27;m a native English speaker, so I&#x27;m sometimes unaware of English grammar. I had no idea that English has subjunctive. That would have been helpful to know when I was trying to wrap my mind around the Spanish subjunctive. I&#x27;m currently learning Hungarian, which uses the accusative case. It took me awhile to wrap my head around, until I realized that &quot;him&#x2F;her&quot; is the accusative case of &quot;he&#x2F;she&quot; (used when it&#x27;s a direct object) and now I know the difference between &quot;who&quot; and &quot;whom&quot; (accusative). I never knew that before. It&#x27;s interesting how different languages, and evolving forms of languages, tend to have the same grammatical structures. Makes me wonder if there&#x27;s some sort of grammar that&#x27;s innate to the human brain.
