Why study verbs prepositions?Prepositions are one of the most difficult things to master in the Englishlanguage. They provide the “links” between the main words (nouns, verbs,and adjectives), but many English students have a hard time knowing whichpreposition to use in each situation.This uncertainty can lead to lack of confidence and being afraid to speak – orspeaking with lots of pauses as you try to think of the correct preposition.Unfortunately, it’s not easy to give specific rules for when to use eachpreposition – but most verbs have a preposition that usually goes together.Some verbs can go with multiple prepositions, and sometimes the prepositionmakes a difference in the meaning of the phrase.You can use this dictionary for learning typical verb-prepositioncombinations, as well as for reference. Each entry has an example sentenceand any notes or explanations that could help you understand better.The best way to remember these combinations of verbs and prepositions isnot only to study the list but also to create your own example sentences!Putting the verb preposition combination into practice immediately helpsyou memorize it more easily.If you have questions, please send me an e-mail at help@espressoenglish.netGood luck with your English studies!English net Shayna Oliveira, 2012
