poor pattern:" say, _chosen_.

46. "They have _broke_ a window:" say, _broken_.

47. "I have just _began_ my letter:" say, _begun_.

48. "Give me _them books_:" say, _those books_.

49. "Whose are _these here books_?" say, _these books_. _Here_ is
superfluous and inelegant.

50. "_Who_ do you mean?" say, _whom_.

51. "The men _which_ we saw:" say, _whom_.

52. "The flowers _what_ you have:" say, _which_, or _that_.

53. "The boy _as is_ reading:" _who_ is reading.

54. "It was _them_ who did it:" say, _they_.

55. "_It is me_ who am in fault:" say, _It is I_.

56. "Was it _her_ who called me?" say, _she_.

57. "If I were _her_, I would accept his offer:" say, If I were _she_.

58. "He _has got_ my slate:" omit _got_; _has_ is sufficient for the
sense. The addition of _got_, though not ungrammatical, but gradually
becoming obsolete, does not in any degree strengthen the meaning.

59. "The pond is _froze_:" say, _frozen_.

60. "I know _I am him_ whom he meant:" say, _I am he_.

61. "You cannot _catch_ him:" pronounce _catch_ so as to rhyme with
_match_, and not _ketch_--as the fishermen are in the habit of saying.

62. "_Who done it?_" say, _Who did it?_

63. "The club gives an _impetus_ to the ball:" pronounce _impetus_ with
the stress on _im_, and not on _pe_.

64. "Spain and Portugal form a _peninsula_:" pronounce _pen-in-su-la_,
with the accent on _in_, and not on _su_.

65. _Sar-da-na-pa-lus_: pronounce it with the accent on _pa_, and not on
_ap_. The latter pronunciation cannot be changed for the former, without
incurring a gross error.

66. "He must by this time be almost as far as the _antipodes_:" pronounce
_antipodes_ with the accent on _tip_, and let _des_ rhyme with _ease_; it
is a word of _four_ syllables, and _not of three_.

67. _Vouchsafe_: a word seldom used, but when used, the first syllable
should rhyme with _pouch_; _never say vousafe_.

68. "The land in those parts is very _fertile_:" pronounce _fertile_ so as
to rhyme with _myrtle_. _Ile_ in such words must be sounded as _ill_, with
the exception of _exile_, _senile_, _gentile_, _reconcile_, and
_camomile_, in which _ile_ rhymes with _mile_.

69. _Benefited_: often spelt _benefitted_, but _incorrectly_.

70. "_Gather_ a few ears of corn for dinner:" pronounce _gather_ so as to
rhyme with _lather_, and _not gether_.

71. _Purpose and propose_: these two words, which are often confounded,
are entirely distinct in meaning.
