VI. Comment on the categorial features of pronouns in the following passage:

But it was Blanche who most surprised me. She proved herself not only a

capable, but a devoted nurse. There was nothing in her to remind you that she had

VIII. Comment on the forms of the oblique mood in the following sentences:

1. The questions frightened her. She wished she had left the paper unturned,

that she had never known. (A. Hailey)

2. And all the while, lest one should be in any doubt as to the reality which

Goldstein’s specious claptrap covered, behind his head on the telescreen

there marched the endless columns of the Eurasian army—row after row of

solid-looking men with expressionless Asiatic faces, who swam up to the
