    PRONOUNS

    A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence. Pronouns

    are used so that our language is not cumbersome with the same

    nouns being repeated over and over in a paragraph. Some examples

    of pronouns: -

    I, me, mine, myself, she, her, hers, herself, we, us, ours and ourselves

    You may have noticed that they tend to come in sets of four, all

    referring to the same person, group or thing.

    He, him, his and himself, for example, all refer to a male person or

    something belonging to him

    They, them, theirs and themselves all refer to a group or something

    belonging to a group, and so on.

    VOCABULARY BUILDING OUT OF A PARA

    MONETARY (RELATING TO MONEY OR CURRENCY) policy is the process by

    which the monetary authority of a country controls the supply of money, often

    targeting an INFLATION (A GENERAL INCREASE IN PRICES AND FALL IN THE

    PURCHASING VALUE OF MONEY) rate or interest rate to ensure price stability

    and general trust in the currency.

    Further goals of a monetary policy are usually to contribute to economic growth and

    stability, to lower unemployment, and to maintain PREDICTABLE (ALWAYS

    BEHAVING OR OCCURRING IN THE WAY EXPECTED) exchange rates with

    other currencies.
    Monetary economics provides INSIGHT (AN ACCURATE AND DEEP

    UNDERSTANDING.) into how to CRAFT (EXERCISE SKILL IN MAKING (AN

    OBJECT), TYPICALLY BY HAND) OPTIMAL (BEST OR MOST FAVOURABLE)

    monetary policy.

    Monetary policy is referred to as either being expansionary or CONTRACTIONARY

    (CAUSING OR RELATING TO THE CONTRACTION OF A COUNTRY'S

    ECONOMY), where an expansionary policy increases the total supply of money in

    the economy more rapidly than usual, and contractionary policy SHRINKS

    (BECOME OR MAKE SMALLER IN SIZE OR AMOUNT) it.

    Expansionary policy is traditionally used to try to combat unemployment

    in a RECESSION (A PERIOD OF TEMPORARY ECONOMIC DECLINE DURING

    WHICH TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES ARE REDUCED, GENERALLY

    IDENTIFIED BY A FALL IN GDP IN TWO SUCCESSIVE QUARTERS) by lowering

    interest rates in the hope that easy credit will entice businesses into expanding. The

    policy is intended to slow inflation in order to avoid the resulting

    DISTORTIONS (THE ACTION OF GIVING A MISLEADING ACCOUNT OR

    IMPRESSION) and DETERIORATION (THE PROCESS OF BECOMING

    PROGRESSIVELY WORSE) of ASSET (A USEFUL OR VALUABLE THING OR

    PERSON) values.
