Lessons My Grammar Taught Me

· A dangling participle walks into a bar.

· Enjoying a cocktail and chatting with the bartender, the evening passes pleasantly.

· A bar was walked into by the passive voice.

· Two quotation marks walk into a “bar.”

· A malapropism walks into a bar, looking for all intensive purposes like a wolf in cheap clothing, muttering epitaphs and casting dispersions on his magnificent other, who takes him for granite.

· A mixed metaphor walks into a bar, seeing the handwriting on the wall but hoping to nip it in the bud.

· Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They converse. They depart.

· A synonym strolls into o tavern.

· The subjunctive would have walked into a bar, had it only known.

· A misplaced modifier walks into a bar owned by a man with a glass eye named Ralph.

· The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

· A verb walks into a bar, sees a beautiful noun, and suggests they conjugate. The noun declines.

· Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything.

Questions My Grammar Asked Me

· What if there were no hypothetical questions?

· ls there another word for synonym?

· Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?

· How is it possible to have a civil war?

· If a parsley former is sued , can they garnish his wages?

· If you were to eat pasta and antipasto at the same time, would you still be hungry?

Thanks to Denis O. Vaughn W. and Soren K for these gems

Any word that is synonymous with another is a synonym, and therefore a synonym of the word synonym. I think that warrants me walking into a bar for a drink with all these grammaticals.
