Topic: Prepositions after adjectives 1
|
level: Intermediate
REMEMBER:
There are no rules regarding which prepositions are used with which adjectives, so it's best to learn these pairings together. Another thing to remember is that sometimes more than one preposition can be used after an adjective, even to mean the same thing. For example: North Americans often say they're "angry at someone", while in British English it's more common to be "angry with someone."
Choose the best preposition to use in each of the sentences.
