In Episode 13, The joy of stress, we will continue our discussion of double pronouns and how stress can affect the spelling and placement of object pronouns. We will also talk about when it is absolutely necessary to use a ’stressed’ or tonic pronoun: to resolve ambiguity, to compare or contrast, to answer a question, or for emphasis.

In this episode, Dottor Ballanzone will call to share his snack of the gods. What a treat – let’s listen!

In Episode 12, Just look at yourself, we continue our study of pronouns with reflexive pronouns, which are used with verbs where the action is reflected back onto the subject. We will also talk about the interesting metamorphoses that take place when two pronouns occur with one verb.

Two esteemed pronoun experts will be joining us, Dottor Ballanzone, of course, and Dr. Prunella Pronominetti from the Grammar Abuse Society! Let’s listen!
