LESSON 19

Dear Co our study of the preposition The preposition is one of the last parts of speech which we take up for study and it is also one of the last parts of speech to be added to our vocabulary The child does not use the preposition when it first begins to talk It uses the nas; words of action; words that describe objects and actions It does not begin to use prepositions until it begins to relate ideas

The relation of ideas hts Then we begin to need prepositions, which are words of relation, connecting words, expressing the relationshi+p between ideas

The measure of the fullness and richness of our lives is theof the world about us, of the relationshi+p existing between the different phases of that world and of our relationshi+p to it all

So words do not mean much to us until we can relate them to our own lives and our own experiences When you look up a word in the dictionary, do not study the word alone; study also the thing for which it stands A person with a good ht acquire a vocabulary by sheer feat of ood would it do unless each word could be related to practical experience? It is only in this way that words becoe of the thing for which the word stands

So let us use our dictionary in this way Do not be satisfied when you have looked up a word simply to kno to spell and pronounce the word and understand so Do not be satisfied until it has beco of just what each word stands for Use the words in sentences of your own Use them in your conversation Make them a part of your every-day life
