Preposition

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Preposition

Post by Telo_2018 »

Prepositions especially when they are part of an idiomatic expression or simply just a prepositional phrase are tough to use and understand commonly among those whose English is just a second language. Any techniques or ideas you may suggest that could help improve the use of preposition in English communication in general? Thank you!

Rather than trying to explain it myself, I thought it might be better to refer you to the experts.
Here are some websites that may help. Each one explains it a little differently, but they all basically say the same thing.

I hope this helps. 💕
