How's Your Preposition Use?
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2009 11:59 am
Hi Writers,
You will rarely see me recommend a Wikipedia page about anything. But in this case, Wikipedia happens to have a pretty good resource for prepositions. Using the correct preposition can sometimes be tricky, but the follow page contains a list of links to definitions of prepositions and examples for their use:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_En ... epositions
If you can't decide between two prepositions, you can find them both on the list and decide which one makes more sense within the context of your sentence given its meaning.
I see a lot of preposition choice errors, so please be conscious of how you are using these important words.
Thanks,
Ed
