VERBS WITH PREPOSITIONS

VERBS WITH PREPOSITIONS

belong to, consist of, happen to, hint at, hope for, insist on, lead to, listen to, pay for, qualify for, refer to, relate to, sympathize with.

2. With other verbs that are used without an object, the choice of a different preposition may alter the meaning of the clause:

agree on/with, apologize for/to, appeal to/for, care about/of, complain to somebody about/of, conform to/with, remind about/of, result from/in, suffer from/with, think about/of.

3. With verbs that are used without an object, different prepositions are used to introduce different types of information:

a. ‘about’ indicates the subject matter:

care, complain, do, dream, explain, hear, know, speak, talk, think, write

b. ‘at’ indicates direction:

glance, glare, grin, laugh, look, point, shoot, shout, smile, stare

• the = definite article (a specific object that both the person speaking and the listener know)

• DO NOT use an article with countries, states, counties or provinces, lakes and mountains except when the country is a collection of states such as "The United States".
