Part Number Seven of using the wrong preposition. This is the last part. I want you guys to focus. I don't want you to use the wrong proposition when you speak English with your friends or when you write something because this is not correct in most of the cases because English and foreign students they think in their own native language, that's why they cannot use the right preposition in English. Okay, let's continue using the wrong position number 61. sit at a desk, etc. Not on a desk.
It's it's wrong. So we sit at a desk so don't say the bank manager was sitting on his desk. Now this is wrong. We should say the bank manager was sitting at his desk. This is a correct way. And note also we say sit at a table.
But omniture on a binge on a sofa. It's a throw in an armchair, in a tree or up a tree. And there is a sentence here a bird sometimes purchases. Here purchase means it's on a tree. Number 62 is spend on not four spend on something. For example, don't say I spend a lot of time for my computer.
No, we should say I spend a lot of time on my computer. This is the correct way. Okay, guys, let's go to the next part. 60 to succeed in, not at so we always use the preposition and so don't say I hope he'll succeed at his work. Now, we should say I hope he'll succeed in his work. So, we succeed in something, a note, a person succeeds to a property, a title or an office.
For example, Queen Elizabeth succeeded to the throne in 1952. Also one person can succeed another person. Okay. And 63 is superior to not from or then superior to, so don't say this is superior from that, or to them that this is not correct. We should say this is superior to that. So superior comes with a preposition to a note.
Also we say inferior to junior to senior to subsequent to animation Prior to so these words come with a preposition to do not forget this important point. Sure of not for number 65 don't say I'm quite sure for hair honesty. No, this is wrong, we should say. I'm quite sure of her honesty, on quite sure of her honesty and notes. Also we say certain stuff. For example, I'm quite certain of it.
I'm quite certain of it. Next one is surprised ads, or we can say bye but not for. So don't say Ted was surprised for the loud bang. Now this is not correct. We should say Ted was surprised at or by the loud bank. So, we are surprised at or by something Do not forget this point.
A note also we can say astonished at or by, amazed at or by, alarmed. At or by puzzled at or by and shocked at or by to not forget these words used with these kinds of prepositions. Next one is suspect of not for. So don't say I suspect Kate for stealing the pen. We should say I suspect Kate of stealing the pen. So, we suspect somebody of something.
A note also we say suspicious of for example, dogs are suspicious of strangers. Dogs are suspicious of strangers. Next one is take my notes from so don't say Robert took his brother from the hand. No, we should say Robert took his brother by the hand. This is a correct way. And also we say hold by, catch by, sees by snatched by and grass by.
So these words come with a preposition by six and nine, tie two knots on tie two. So don't say the girl tied the string on the kite. This is not correct, we should say the girl tied this train to the to the kite. So, we tie actually something to something else. And also, we can say bind to for example, the prisoner was bound to steak bound to and the last one is tired of not from so don't say the boys are tired from eating boiled eggs. This is not correct we should say.
The boys are tired of eating boiled eggs so we become tired of something not from something
