A Text-Book of Applied English Grammar (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 2017 M07 20 - 392 pages Excerpt from A Text-Book of Applied English Grammar Both men and animals express themselves by cries and motions, but men use words also. Even the little child finds that crying and pointing will not convey all his wishes. He watches his elders, and observes that they have names for things. He soon learns certain names, and is presently giving such commands as Potato! To me, potato! Words thus do for him what gestures could never do.
