Mastering Dependent Prepositions - A Deep Dive from the Cambridge Advanced Workbook

Показать описание

Eager to master the art of using dependent prepositions in English? This video, rooted in the Cambridge Advanced Workbook, is tailored just for you! Challenge yourself with a test, correcting errors commonly made by exam candidates and uncovering the nuances of these tricky grammatical components.
➡️ But first, let’s simplify: Dependent prepositions are those that naturally pair up with specific adjectives, verbs, and nouns. It's like each of these words has its preferred prepositional partner. For instance, in the sentence "Tom and Mary went to the Fancy dress party as Romans. He was dressed in a Roman Centurion uniform. She was dressed in a Roman Lady's gown," the word 'in' is the dependent preposition. English speakers use 'dressed in' to describe the attire someone is wearing.

We don’t conventionally say 'dressed on' or 'dressed down.' Although we can employ 'dressed up' in a sentence like "he dressed UP as a Roman Centurion," it then becomes a phrasal verb and not a dependent preposition.
