The manipulation of various grammatical devices structures Julio Cortaizar's short-short story Continuidad de los parques. Variations in the use of verbal aspect (preterite/imperfect) mark stages in the development of the plot, and modal and lexical choices reinforce its reflexive and repetitive nature. Linguistic and literary analysis are mutually reinforcing approaches to this text: the study of grammar contributes to revealing the story's meaning, while the story exemplifies creative use of grammatical choices. Teaching stu- dents to identify and analyze grammatical features of the story allows them to discover its meaning for them- selves
