It’s Professor Dave, let’s pick prepositions.
One of the hardest things to learn in any language is the mastery of prepositions.
This is because prepositions are highly idiomatic and their specific usage isn’t always consistent
from one language to another.
Let’s go over some lists of verbs right now, along with the prepositions that they
require when in the infinitive.
First, let’s list the verbs that do not require any preposition.
Let’s look at some examples, noting that the highlighted verb is not followed by a
preposition.
Next let’s go over the verbs which require the preposition “a”.
Again, some examples to see this in action.
Lastly, many verbs require the preposition “di”.
That was quite the list, so let’s see some examples.
It may seem impossible to memorize these lists, but don’t worry, you really won’t have
to, as you won’t be using all of these verbs frequently.
You will memorize the important ones over time through the repetition of seeing a particular
preposition associated with it over and over again, so to get a little more practice, let’s check comprehension.
