hello everybody my name is Steve Ford and welcome to your English level test today we're going to
be taking a look at your level in terms of prepositions and we're going to finish off
with the C2 level which is proficiency level are you ready let's go [Music] number 21 now
we're getting more fluent here the office was completely bereft color or any type of decoration
so which one do you think it is
if you thought the answer was of then that is correct either you guessed very well or you
read a lot this is a formal kind of language we don't use it in speaking that much where
you would say bereft of meaning lacking or an absence of by the way if you need private
lessons you can contact me at the link below this video number 22 he is prone outbursts of laughter
occasion so two prepositions here
if you thought the preposition combination was to and on you are correct so there are a few things
you really need to know the vocabulary here so being prone to something means that you're
susceptible to something have a weakness and Outburst is a sudden release of emotion so if
you watch that Joker movie from a few years ago he has those outbursts he's prone to outbursts
of laughter he just can't stop laughing and he holds a card out saying I have a laughing problem
or laughing disorder number 23 he was awarded the medal for going beyond the Call of Duty
if you thought the answer was above and beyond the Call of Duty great so above and beyond the
call of duty means that you do more than is expected at work number 24 after the election
the results will be announced due course
so once again this is a more formal kind of language the answer is in due course at the
appropriate time so this kind of language a lot of these from numbers 21 to 30 you would not use in
speaking every day but this is something to test your level of fluency how much do you read well if
you'd like to chill some more watching my videos then please subscribe like and share with your
friends dear sir to our previous email we remind you that you still have a balance outstanding
so which one do you think it is
if you thought the answer was further really you know how to write nice emails and maybe you took a
business course or something so this is once again is formal language further two and really the
preposition is two and I wanted to see if you knew how to do the combination with the preposition
further two simply means in addition to number 26 we're almost there folks the fact that a party can
be voted into Power with the minority of votes calls question the country's electoral system
and if you thought the answer was calls into question well done so this also is formal
language when you call something into question it means that it casts doubt it makes things doubtful
call into question number 27 you can put her success hmm to hard work and perseverance
if you thought that the answer was put her success down to that is correct so to put something down
to something simply means to say that something happened because of something or someone
we're almost there folks number 28. if you have any complaints please take them the manager
so which one do you think it is
and if you thought that the answer was up with that is correct so this is another phrasal verb
that you will see people using in business to take it up with someone else this is when you
go up the ranks so to say to discuss or to bring it to someone's attention number 29 please don't
take your frustration other people so which one do you think would be we need two prepositions here
and if you thought that the answer was to take it out on another person or other people that is
correct so this is a great two-part phrasal verb to take something out on someone else
to be angry at someone even though it's not their fault and number 30 we made it
when I get back from vacation please fill me all the details
if you thought that the preposition combination was in on fill me in on all the details that is
correct and to fill someone in on something simply means to give them an update fill me
in on everything that's happened bring me up to speed okay everybody how did you do
if you got eight or more well done and if you got seven or less that means that you
are still in that level but if you did get that many then you're pretty well fluent of course
I'm sure that there always is some polishing to do always some polishing to do but really
