Brothers Grimm Fairytales You probably know that the original
Brothers Grimm Fairytales didnt have the same sort of
child-friendly happy endings as the Disney versions. But its not
because Jacob and Wilhelm were a pair of perverts eager to write
about child abuse. When they set out to produce the two- volume
first edition of their Kinder- und Hausmarchen (Childrens and
Household Tales) published in 1812 and 1815the brothers viewed
themselves not as authors or even really editors, but as collectors
and literary historians. The original intent of the project was to
record and anthologize the oral tradition in German- speaking
countries at the start of the 19th century. The Grimms were
scholars, working primarily at their desks, who relied on friends
and informants and the occasional written document to source the
folklore that had been passed down for generations. Although they
added clear transitions where necessary to complete the tales, for
the most part the Grimms stayed as true to the original sources as
possible. We rounded up some of the more surprising aspects of the
first edition that were later cleaned up or scrubbed from the text
altogether. 1.They got a lot longer. 2.Birth mothers become
stepmothers 3.Rapunzel doesnt get pregnant 4.The fairies get recast
5.Some stories are cut altogether

Command Form To form commands in English, the speaker simply
takes the infinitive without to, e.g., go, run or write. In German,
the familiar command form in the singular is constructed by
eliminating the en from the infinitive, i.e., by maintaining the
stem. In German, commands (imperative sentences) are always
followed by an exclamation point.

Command Form Plural Command Informal When you address more than
one person, the familiar (plural) form is as follows: Kommt zu

It is helpful to remember that the familiar plural command is the
same as the ihr-form but w/out ihr.

identical to the construction of a question. There is, however, a
