Grammar is sweet!


James Hurford, author of "Grammar- A Student's Guide" (Cambridge UP 1994) has wittily dedicated this book:

"For Sue N. Davis,
superlative, perfect, proper,
active, positive, agreeable relative"

I wish I had thought of that dedication myself! (I wish I could write a book on grammar, too)
1- Think of what each word refers to.
2- Write a dedication using other grammar words. (Come on, it cannot be that difficult! I will try myself)

  2. Here's the teacher's attempt:
    " You and I are like compound sentences; I'm like a verb of incomplete predication, always in need of its complement"
