Hi sir,
I would just like to ask if there are any rules that prescribe on how to use the different prepositions like in, on, at, to, by, from, with and of. In most of my readings, writers or authors generally advise to read a lot in order for one to develop familiarity on the correct pairing of words and prepositions. I know the basic rules which are stated on the books. However, when a new word is used I'm often troubled by the thought of what preposition is which to use in order for my idea to be expressed clearly and correctly. I know there are times where some preposition could be used interchangeably. But could you give me some points on what relationship should I consider between the word and the preposition so that my understanding would be realigned to what is standard and acceptable?
By the way sir, I actually took down notes about the different prepositions and I am now studying its uses. however, I'm wondering if the uses and the relationship of each preposition would be enough to consider for me to pair this to the word of my choice.
I'm hoping that you would be able to give me some pointers on this.
And sir, Please do give feedbacks on my grammar error in my posting here.
Thank you! =)
