Week 1, Discussion 3.2

Q Post just one paragraph (not four separate ones)--written entirely in your own words--answering the following: • Why is it important for an English speaker or writer to understand which words function as pronouns and how they contribute to clarity in the language? • What is the function of preposition and how can a preposition be identified? • What is a particle and what does it do? • How do conjunctions benefit speakers/writers and listeners/readers? Once you have posted your answer, read classmates’ posts and respond by comparing the reasons you have identified and the contributions you have noted. Do not reference outside sources; use your own words. Please note that you will not see classmates' postings until you have posted your own. Initial discussion posts are due by the fourth day of the academic week at 11:30 PM ET and responses to at least two classmates are expected by the last day of the academic week by 11:30 PM ET.

Pronouns are used in the place of nouns. Its purpose is to make the sentences easier by avoiding repetitions. For a writer it makes the sentences clear and smoother. For a speaker of the language it facilitates communication. Preposition generally appears with the prepositional phrase. The main function is that it allows the noun and the pronoun and hence modifies another word in the sentence.
