A part or part

Imitating is considerd part/ a part of our human nature and particularly explicit among young people.

How can we differ them and understand which one to use? My book says it is part and if a ESL uses a part it would be incorrect. I’ve searched all the Internet but couldn’t find a solid answer. Needless to mention that some dictionaries use them interchangeably.

please be kind and provide examples while describing since sometimes some explanations seems easy to you but hard to differ for us because of being non-native. Thank you very much.

Abbas Rajabpour How can we differ differentiate/distinguish them and understand which one to use? "part of" and "a part of" are more or less interchangeable in most situations. Some people say that they see various subtle differences, but not everyone agrees on what these differences are or if they exist.

  • q=a+part+of+or+part+of .
  • "part of" is more common than "a part of", and I would say that in speech, especially, we tend to use "part of" more than "a part of" just because it's simpler to say.
