Re: What is the function of \"describing\" in this sentence?

Thanks a lot, but what meaning of
"Be careful you don't fall into the habit of adding redundant prepositions..."

the sentence must be written as followed:

Tom has a book describing about sport in our lives

Thanks!!!

Re: What is the function of \\\"describing\\\" in this sentence?

A book about the role of sport…

A book describing the role of sport.

(i). don't forget the article
(ii) 'about' is appropriate in the first sentence; but the meaning of 'to describe' makes 'about' redundant in the sentence:

A book describing about the role of sport.

Re: What is the function of \\\\\\\"describing\\\\\\\
