1
Is it in or on?
2
Is it for or from?
3
Is it by or with?
4
English prepositions can be so confusing.
5
Even my most advanced students often tell me that prepositions are their biggest struggle.
6
As many of you know, I teach the American accent to professionals who are quite fluent in English and they use English every day at work, but they still struggle with using the correct preposition.
7
Prepositions don't always follow clear rules, and they don't often translate directly from your native language.
8
And some prepositions don't make any sense.
9
For example, why do we say Christmas is in December, but Christmas is on December 25th?
10
Why do we say in Los Angeles, but at the post office?
11
I will teach you some of the most common mistakes.
12
I will start with some easier rules, and then later in the video, the rules and the patterns will get more advanced.
13
And I will give you a chance to test yourself as we go.
14
Okay, let's get started.
15
Let's start with an easy one.
16
Let's look at in versus at when we're talking about places.
17
Why do we say in New York, but at the airport?
18
We use in for larger areas.
19
For example, I live in Los Angeles.
20
She works in New York.
21
We also use in for enclosed spaces.
22
They are in the room.
23
They're inside the room.
24
He's in the building.
25
And we use at for specific locations, especially when we think of being at a place for an activity or for a purpose.
26
For example, I'm at the market.
27
I'm there to do the shopping.
28
He's at the bus stop.
29
They're at the restaurant.
30
Let's compare these two examples.
31
What is the difference in meaning?
32
Let's meet at the restaurant.
33
Let's meet in the restaurant.
34
If I say at the restaurant, I mean at that location.
35
We're going there to eat.
36
That's an activity.
37
However, I'm not specifying if we're going to meet in front of the restaurant or in the parking lot or inside the restaurant.
38
But if I say let's meet in the restaurant, that means inside the restaurant, not outside, inside the physical building.
39
Here's another example.
40
I saw her when I was at the market.
41
I was there shopping.
42
I can't talk right now.
43
I'm in the market, but I will call you back as soon as I get out.
44
You see the difference?
45
Let's look at another confusing prepositions pattern.
46
Let's look at on and at with addresses.
47
When we mention just the name of the street, we say on.
48
She lives on Main Street.
49
My office is on Washington Boulevard.
50
But when we add the number of the street, we use at.
51
She lives at 537 Main Street.
52
The office is at 1356 Washington Boulevard.
53
So in if you just say the name of the street and at if you give the full address with the number.
54
I remember there used to be a billboard, an advertisement for a car dealership in Los Angeles.
55
It said in Santa Monica, on Santa Monica.
56
Do you understand that?
57
Native speakers do.
58
It means that it's in the city of Santa Monica.
59
For cities, we use the preposition in, and native speakers understand that on means on Santa Monica Boulevard.
60
So the advertisement was saying that you can find this car dealership in the city of Santa Monica on Santa Monica Boulevard.
61
But remember, with very specific locations, we use at.
62
At the intersection of.
63
At the corner of.
64
Let's meet at the corner of Broadway and Wall Street.
65
Let's look at another confusing prepositions rule.
66
Let's look at dates.
67
If we only say the month, we say in, in July, in August, in September.
68
But when we add a specific day of the month, we say on, on July 4th, on August 22nd, and so on.
69
So we would say, her birthday is in April, her birthday is on April 10th.
70
Okay.
71
And now it's going to get a little more advanced.
72
Let's look at some adjectives followed by prepositions.
73
And these are some very common mistakes.
74
Let's look at the adjectives good and bad.
75
What do we say in this case?
76
I'm good math.
77
He's good tennis.
78
Which preposition do we use?
79
We use at.
80
I'm good at math.
81
He's good at tennis.
82
And let's look at bad.
83
It follows the same pattern.
84
Bad at.
85
I'm bad at remembering names, but I'm good at recognizing faces.
86
He's bad at understanding fast speech, but he's good at reading English.
87
And terrible follows the same pattern.
88
Terrible at.
89
I'm terrible at remembering names.
90
Let's look at some more adjectives that follow prepositions.
91
Let's look at known.
92
We can say, he's well known.
93
He's known his scientific research.
94
Do you know the correct preposition?
95
You say it.
96
Did you say known for?
97
If you did, good job.
98
That's a hard one.
99
Known for means famous for something, recognized for a skill or for a characteristic.
100
We can say, she's known for her beautiful voice.
101
This restaurant is known for its pasta.
102
Who is he and what is he known for?
103
Here's another common mistake with the preposition followed by an adjective.
104
Married.
105
She's married John.
106
What's the correct answer?
107
You say it.
108
Did you say to?
109
Yes, that's correct.
110
She's married to John, not she's married with John.
111
And engaged is the same.
112
When two people agree to get married, engaged to.
113
He's engaged to Emily.
114
She got engaged to her high school sweetheart.
115
Married to, engaged to.
116
Not with.
117
Let's go on to the next one.
118
Let's look at disappointed.
119
This one has two possible answers depending on the meaning.
120
I'm disappointed you.
121
I'm disappointed the film.
122
Different preposition is required.
123
If I say I'm disappointed you, which preposition should I use?
124
In.
125
I'm disappointed in you.
126
I'm disappointed in you for lying to me.
127
Disappointed in when it's a person.
128
I'm disappointed in myself for failing the exam.
129
But look at this example.
130
I'm disappointed the movie.
131
A movie is a thing, not a person.
132
So what would we say in that case?
133
Which preposition would we use?
134
I'm disappointed with.
135
I'm disappointed with the movie.
136
When we're talking about things, or situations or results we would use with.
137
I was disappointed with the hotel.
138
They are disappointed with the quality of the product.
139
So remember, disappointed in a person, disappointed with a thing.
140
Let's look at another adjective.
141
Absent.
142
He was absent work yesterday.
143
What is the correct preposition?
144
You say it.
145
Absent from.
146
He was absent from work yesterday.
147
He's been absent from class three days this month let's go on to the next one this one
148
is also confusing dressed why are you dressed black you're wearing all black what do we say dressed dressed in he's dressed in black he's dressed in an elegant suit.
149
Dressed in.
150
Let's go on to the next one.
151
Actually, this one may not be that hard.
152
I have a feeling many of you know this one.
153
Composed.
154
Water is composed, hydrogen, and oxygen.
155
What do we say?
156
Composed of.
157
The team is composed of strong players.
158
Did you know that one?
159
I have a feeling you did.
160
Okay, now let's look at some verbs with prepositions.
161
Let's look at the verb to make in the passive voice, made.
162
It can have three possible prepositions with three meanings.
163
We can say made of, made from, or made out of.
164
They're slightly different.
165
We use made from when the original material is changed or transformed and you can't clearly see it anymore.
166
For example, paper is made from wood.
167
Wine is made from grapes.
168
We would not say wine is made of grapes or out of grapes.
169
Cheese is made from milk.
170
Let's look at made of.
171
We use made of when the original material is still visible or it's recognizable in the final product.
172
For example, the table is made of wood.
173
Let's compare these two sentences.
174
Paper is made from wood.
175
The table is made of wood.
176
You see the difference?
177
Wine is made from grapes.
178
We can't see the grapes anymore.
179
But the ring is made of gold.
180
We still see the gold.
181
Cheese is made from milk.
182
The house is made of bricks.
183
And instead of saying made of, some people say made out of.
184
And sometimes they have the same meaning, but they can also be slightly different.
185
We use made out of when we want to emphasize the meaning of creativity or improvisation or unusual use.
186
For example, she made a basket out of caps.
187
He made a heart out of paper.
188
So let's review.
189
Made of the material is visible, made from the material is transformed, and made out of is when it's creative or when it's unusual in the way it's used.
190
Let's listen to some native speakers using all three, made of, made from, and made out of.
191
In the rural areas they're usually made of wood.
192
The Lego bricks are made of plastic.
193
What is your car made of?
194
Is it made of metal?
195
You know the lemonade that's made from actual lemons.
196
This is made out of a, we can see it's made out of clay.
197
But a 40 foot tall dog made out of bushes in the middle of New York City.
198
And this next postcard was made out of one of those photos.
199
And now let's learn about some verbs that are followed by prepositions.
200
And these can be confusing.
201
Let's look at the verb to decide.
202
We have three different prepositions options.
203
You already know this one, decide to.
204
I decided to do it.
205
She decided to go there.
206
I decided the blue one.
207
Which preposition should we use?
208
On.
209
I decided on the blue one.
210
When you have to choose something.
211
I can't decide on which restaurant to go to.
212
She couldn't decide on which dress to wear.
213
And let's look at another example with decide.
214
If you decide not to do something.
215
I decided doing it.
216
Which preposition do we use in this case?
217
I think this is a difficult one.
218
Do you know it?
219
I decided against doing it.
220
So you can say, I decided not to do it, or you can say, I decided against doing it.
221
And you have to use ing with the verb after against.
222
I decided against going there.
223
So instead of saying, I decided not to go to the party, you can say what?
224
With against.
225
I decided against going to the party.
226
Make sure you use the ing.
227
I decided against buying the new car.
228
Ray Charles decided against playing the guitar at a very young age.
229
Ultimately Buchanan decided against accepting the nomination.
230
They actually decided against using a new.
231
Let's look the verb to consist.
232
Do you know the preposition?
233
I have a feeling you might.
234
This one is probably not that hard.
235
This course consists 10 video lessons.
236
What is the preposition?
237
Consists of.
238
The meal consists of rice and vegetables.
239
Let's go on to the next one.
240
Which preposition do we need with the verb to discriminate.
241
For example, it's wrong.
242
Discriminate others.
243
What do we say?
244
A lot of my students don't use any preposition and they just say discriminate others, but that's not correct.
245
You need a preposition.
246
The preposition is against.
247
Discriminate against.
248
It is illegal to discriminate against an employee based on age.
249
Laws protect people from being discriminated against.
250
You have to use that preposition.
251
They are discriminated against in the workplace and the world.
252
Have you ever been discriminated against?
253
You're too young, you're too old, you're too this color, too that size.
254
They're more likely to feel underpaid and maybe even discriminated against.
255
Let's look at the verb to plan.
256
We can use the verb to plan in two ways.
257
We can say, I plan to do it.
258
We use to, but we can also use plan with an ing verb.
259
In that case, we need a different preposition.
260
I plan on doing it.
261
I plan to buy it.
262
I plan on buying it.
263
Don't forget the ing.
264
So what is the difference between I plan to and I plan on?
265
They're both very commonly used, but there is a subtle difference.
266
If you say, I plan to do it, that's a clear intention.
267
You have made a decision and you will do it.
268
And plan on doing it is an intention, but it's also an expectation or preparation.
269
It can imply that you expect something to happen.
270
You're preparing for it, but it may sound slightly less definite.
271
It's a plan, but maybe it's not 100% decided.
272
Both are correct and they're often interchangeable.
273
But if you want to sound more certain, then say, I plan to do it.
274
If you want to express expectation or early preparation, say, I plan on doing it.
275
I plan to finish the report by tomorrow.
276
We plan on visiting our friends next week.
277
We will probably visit our friends, but it's not 100% certain.
278
we're in the course of planning it.
279
How did you do?
280
The key to improving is to pay attention.
281
Listen carefully to the patterns that native speakers use.
282
Both prepositions and articles can be difficult for non-native speakers.
283
These are small words, but they make a big difference in how natural and how fluent you sound.
284
And if you also struggle with articles, a, on, and the, I have a full course called the Articles course, where I teach all of the rules and exceptions for using articles.
285
The course includes 13 video lessons, plus pronunciation practice, and many quizzes so that you can test your progress and build your confidence.
