Which line is an example of trocsic pentameter

English
1 answer:
DaniilM [7]3 years ago
6 0
Here is one example from Longfellow's poem: "Aim your arrows, Hiawatha, / At the head of Megissogwon." Notice how the words here have a stressed-unstressed rhythm that adds a powerful forward momentum to the language. William Shakespeare also used trochaic meter, especially when he wanted to signal spells and incantations, as in the famous spell of the three witches in "Macbeth": "Double, double, toil and trouble; / Fire burn and cauldron bubble."

What is the difference between “lay” and “lie”?
sergeinik [125]
These are two different verbs: one means: to be positioned horizontally (lie) and the other to position something else horizontally, to put something down (lay)

They sound similar and have a meaning connected to being horizontal, that's one reason for their confusion.

Make sure you also don't confuse their past tenses:

Lay: laid

lie: lay

Yes, Lay is the present tense of one of them and the past of the other: that's the other reason for their confusion!
