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.”
