Dear teachers,
Would you share with me your opinion concerning the interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentences?
[FONT="]Your lungs cannot expand and shrink of their own accord.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]The words were shaping themselves of their own accord. (R. Kipling, “The Light That Failed”)[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Fluther (opening and shutting door) It’s better than a new one, now. Miss Chiteroe; it’s almost ready to open and shut of its own accord. (S. O’Casey, “The Plough and the Stars”)[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]of its (their) own accord = independently, single-handed[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
Thank you for your efforts.

[FONT="]Regards,[/FONT]
