Slide 12 - Diapositive

Dependent prepositions
Essentially, dependent prepositions exist because they are attached to the word that comes before them. Or, very simply, when you use certain words in English, you HAVE TO follow them with a specific preposition. Why? I have no idea! There is no logic to this! You just have to learn that some English words are always followed by a particular preposition and without them, the sentence is not complete.

Slide 13 - Diapositive

Dependent prepositions
Dependent prepositions can come after three types of words: adjectives, verbs and nouns. Let me give you an example of each:


  • after an adjective (I’m interested in photography)
  • after a verb (Many young adults still depend on their parents)
  • after a noun (There is no solution to the problem)

The problem is that we don’t always use the same preposition after each type of word – you can be interested in, but keen on, or aware of! All three of these words are adjectives, but each is followed by a different preposition. This is the problem with this. 

Slide 14 - Diapositive

Dependent prepositions
So, this leads to the question, how can I learn which preposition goes with which word? 

You simply have to roll up your sleeves and memorise them.

  • The tone is polite, but impersonal

Informal writing
