In this post, I’d like to talk about grammar. In particular, I’ll talk about ‘Verb + Preposition (For or From)’. Here we go!
Verb + For
Pairing examples:
- Apply for,
- Ask for,
- Care for,
- Prepare for.
Study the following examples:
- “I applied for the job but unfortunately I didn’t get it.”
- “How do you ask for a cup of hot coffee here?”
- “Jane spent many years caring for her aged parents.”
- “I can’t go out tonight because I have to prepare for my exam.”
Verb + From
Pairing examples:
- Protect from,
- Recover from,
- Suffer from.
Study the following examples:
- “This lotion should protect you from mosquitoes.”
- “Have you recovered from your illness yet?”
- “I suffer from fever.”
