First notebook entry: Introducing myself

"…find its way about." Why there is an"about"?

 

It will certainly play a big role in the completeness of the statement/ sentence.

Hello Kity :) It is not incorrect to say... The shadow stumbled through the dark room trying to find its way. But it just sounds a little better if you say, 'The shadow stumbled through the dark room trying to find its way about.' Using 'about' paints a more vivid image in the reader's mind. Hope this helps.

Because "find" and "it" need a place to go and the place they do go to needs to receive them very well.  Every sentence tells the story of who does what.  You need to understand the small common words.  "keys to words"
