my other question; What is the purpose of this essay? How can you tell?

The purpose of this essay is to give us a better understanding of puns.

how can I tell? - In this essay it gives selections of puns, that are all different.

Please add any more info, thanks. How would I put this all together? The 1st and 2nd part. It doesn't make sense when I say: I can tell by....

I don't know which essay you read.

Does the author tell you how to distinguish bad from good puns?

the one I posted below

I'm sorry, but the only posts I've seen of yours was your list of "bad puns."

Please copy and paste the essay to which you refer.

no, sorry I think I messed you up by talking about good puns and bad puns. It only says worst and best puns, not good or bad.

To put the answer together in a coherent way, you can say something like:

"The purpose of this essay is to give us a better understanding of puns. One way I can tell this is by looking at the content of the essay. It provides a selection of different puns, which suggests that its main objective is to showcase the variety and intricacies of punning. By examining these puns, the author aims to shed light on their use, structure, and potential for humor. Therefore, the inclusion of multiple examples supports the notion that the purpose of this essay is to provide a comprehensive exploration of puns."

In this response, you first state the purpose of the essay and then explain how you can tell by analyzing the content and explaining why the inclusion of different puns serves as evidence for the essay's objective. By providing this explanation, you will present a well-rounded answer to the question.
