Excerpt from Connectives of English Speech: The Correct Usage of Prepositions, Conjunctions, Relative Pronouns and Adverbs Explained and IllustratedSuch an example shows the great importance Of prepositions and other connectives as the means of binding words into sentences. Without such helps all speech would be made up of brief, isolated, and frag mentary statements. The movement Of thought would be constantly and abruptly broken. Much would need to be guessed at, much would, after all, be doubtful or obscure, while the mental difficulty involved in following such statements would render them practically valueless. For easy, effective, and pleasant reading or hearing, the mind needs to have the connections Of thought clearly indicated from point to point. The path of discourse may be steep, winding, or even intricate, but should always clearly show enough of forward reach to leave the traveler in no doubt where to set his foot. Prepositions, con junctions, relative pronouns and adverbs are the ever-recurring finger-boards that point the thought onward, or enable it on occasion to retrace its way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
