In, on, at, to, for, from... What do all these words have in common? Well, they're all prepositions and you don't really know when to use them... Am I right?
As with all my new videos this lesson comes with a free worksheet which you can get by clicking up there or in the description and that includes a summary of today's lesson and a test. So I've done a couple of videos recently about prepositions. You can watch that one to learn about in on and at when we're talking about prepositions of place. And you can watch that one to learn lots of very common expressions that we use in English that include prepositions. But in this video today we're looking at some common verb plus preposition combinations so that you know which preposition to use after verbs.
Now we're going to look at all these prepositions today and to make this video a bit clearer and simpler for you I'm going to divide the lesson into sections where we'll look at one preposition per section. So... Let's go!
Some of the most common verbs that use the preposition of are: suspect of. Like, he was suspected of killing his neighbour. That's a bit of a dramatic example. Let's use accuse of. You can also accuse someone of doing something. She accused me of stealing the last biscuit. Consist of. Consist of is a really common mistake. It's not consist in. It's consist of. Bread consists of flour and water. And remind of. This is when you or something makes me think of something else. Like hey, he reminds me of his brother. They look exactly the same. And take care of. Can you take care of your little sister while I go to the garden to move the lawn? Can you take care of your little sister? And this means the same as look after. Can you make sure that she is safe?
Can you take care of a problem means can you make sure that that problem is dealt with? Okay then we have three very special verbs. Hear of. Have you heard of inversion? Dream of. Like, he always dreamt of becoming a rockstar. And think of. They're thinking of getting married next year. Now wait a second... Can't we say think about and dream about and hear about? Well, yes we can. This means a slightly different thing and I'll tell you about it in the next section. About is a really common preposition to use after verbs so let's look at some common examples and then I'll tell you the difference between think of and think about, dream of and dream about, and hear of and hear about. First we have argue. You argue about. They're always arguing about money. Care about. If somebody is important to you you care about them. Hey, I care about you. Forget about. If you forget about something it means that your memory of that moment or of that thing has just gone. Okay? You don't remember. You forgot about it. Wow, I totally forgot about the time we went fishing together. Talk about.

perfect Thank you teacher Greg

Thank you Greg. I understand very well

I have always thought that in 'allow to do smth' TO is a part of an infinitive, like allow+to verb. I didn't expect To is a preposition
-
I heard someone saying "suspect about", it it right too?
