Welcome to Part number three using the wrong preposition. And this part again we are going to explain lots of words. Many students use them with wrong and incorrect prepositions. Number 21 cure off not from. So don't say the man was cured from his illness, this is not correct. And many students make these mistakes, say the man was cured of his illness.

This is a correct sentence. And note, the noun cure takes four. So we say there is no cure for that disease. This is a very good point. Number 20 to depend on or upon, not from depend on or upon. So don't say it depends from her.

No, no this is wrong say depends on or upon her. A note we also say rely on or upon. For example, I can rely on or upon him. This is another important point. And some students have problems using this word. Number 23 tremble with cold, etc not from cold so don't say the man was trembling from cold.

This is not correct we should say the man was trembling with called a note also shake with and shiver with. For example, the thief was shaking with fear. So do not forget we use wave here Not from or other preposition warn a person of danger not about danger. So don't say they were weren't about the danger, we should say they were warned of the danger. And this is a very important point and a mistake that many students make. Number 25 we say different from not them.

This is actually a very common error. We see many times. So don't say my book is different than yours. No, no, no, you should say my book is different from yours. This is a correct way to speak about different and number 26 is disappointed by or about or at, not from buy at about so don't say Philip was disappointed from the low Mark no this is wrong we should say Philip was disappointed by about or at the low mark. This is the correct way to use preposition with the actually disappointed.

I note before a person we use with or n before a thing we use at about or by. And before a Gironde, we use at, for example case, he's very disappointed at not winning the prize. We use that actually it's optional before a new clause. For example, I was disappointed that I didn't get an invitation. Next one is 27 divided into parts not in parts. So divide comes with a preposition into so don't say divided the cake in four parts, minute students maybe they think that this is a correct way, but this is wrong, we should say I divided the cake into four parts.

So divide comes with a preposition into a note, I think may be divided in half or into. For example, how divided the apple in half or into. So we can also say this next one is no doubt of or about not for. So don't say I have no doubt for his ability This is wrong, we should say. I have no doubt of or about his ability. This is a correct way to speak about doubt and the proposition is not for Note, we have also doubtful of for example, I am doubtful of his ability to pass.

So doubtful comes with a preposition of. Next one is dressed in not with this is another common mistakes Actually I have seen many times, actually used by foreign and English students. So, don't say the woman was dressed with black now this is wrong, we should say the woman was dressed in black. So, dress comes with a preposition and, and there is a note here we say with the exception of with the exception of for example, she liked all her subjects with the exception of physics. So, this is a phrase with the exception of that Number 30 exchange for not by so we don't say exchange by exchange for so don't say he exchanged his collection of match boxes by some foreign stamps no this is wrong we should say he exchange his collection of match boxes for some foreign stem. So exchange comes with four, not by or other prepositions.

And there is a note, there's also a phrase in exchange for then exchange for For example, He gave them his old car in exchange for a new one in exchange for okay perfect. And this lesson actually will learn many great prepositions and we understood lots of mistakes done by English. on foreign students
