Errors in the use of Prepositions
Errors in the Use of Prepositions:
A preposition is a word that joins nouns, pronouns or phrase to other words in a sentence. The prepositions 'at', 'on' and 'in' are used for position; the preposition 'to' is used for movement or direction.
A) The Mode of transportation takes preposition ‘by’ when it comes with go/come/arrive etc.
B) With “in” and “at,” the correct term may depend on the time of day. For example, in English we use “in the” with “morning,” “afternoon,” and “evening.” But we usually use “at” when talking about the night:
C) Usage of For vs. Since : When talking about how long something has been happening, we use “for” when referring to a length of time (e.g., a period of hours, days, or months). But if we’re using a specific time as a point of reference, we use “since”:
D) When referring to motion, it is grammatically correct to say “into” rather than “in.”
E) The phrases like Be used to, accustomed to, averse to, addicted to, look forward to, with a view to , owing to, devoted to, in addition to, object to, taken to, prone to, end in ‘to’ and are followed by ‘ing’ form of verb (gerund).
F) A preposition is usually placed before its object but when the object of the preposition is a relative pronoun ‘that’, it is placed after it. Example-
