Check out a grammar and style guide to "Yodify" your language. Click through for more!

Hello Chuck and Paul,

With the arrival of the anniversary of the initial release of Star Wars, Grammarly started to reflect on what makes the film so great. Being language lovers and word nerds at heart, we are particularly fascinated and charmed by the grammar of the great Jedi master, Yoda.

Some of our favorite quotes in literature, Yodified:

"Across the sky a screaming comes." (Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow)

"A bright and cold day in April it was, and the clocks thirteen were striking." (George Orwell, 1984)

"The best of times it was, the worst of times it was." (Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities)

If to Yodify something you want, follow these main rules you must:

1. Move your modifiers, modifier phrases, and objects before the subject-verb phrase.

2. Swap your subject-verb order.

3. Drop the auxiliary "do" when negating most verbs and place the negation after the verb.

4. Do not use contractions.

5. Drop the auxiliary "do" in present tense questions.

To help you keep these straight, we created this handy-dandy style guide [Infographic attached below].
