Are you an aspiring novelist? We have that much in common. What does hold mean?
By choosing the appropriate verb, you have an opportunity to reveal Mary’s emotional state in words and sentences. Do you care about your finger while reading a book? Is it painful to touch, and so she grips it or her hand clamps over it? If I learn from last example, I can pass on a phrasal verb for all others, also, if it’s more revealing and in line with my vision. Why is Mary holding her fingers? Is
‘hold’ not necessary when I make the sentence. What are the prepositions you have included in this sentence? Is there no need for either an on or a to in this case for the word ‘on’?
