Pass number five, using the wrong preposition. Again here we are going to introduce lots of preposition that are used in the wrong way. Let's start instance insist on not to. So we never say I insist to something. We insist on something. So don't say he always insisted to his opinion.

No, this is wrong. You should say he always insisted. On his opinion, this is a correct way to use ANSYS with the preposition on a note. Also we have the verb persist, persist takes em. So we say, he persisted in his silly ideas. Interested in not for this is another common mistake.

Takes actually made by many foreign students. So don't say she's not interested for her work. No, no, no, no, you should say she's not interested in her work. So we always use the preposition in for interest. And not also we have the phrase take an interest and take him interest and for example, she takes a great interest in music. This is another important phrase.

Let's go to the next one. Number 43 jealous are not from so guys. Please don't say I'm jealous from for example, my friend. No. Don't say he's very jealous from his brother. No, this is wrong.

And this is not correct. You should say it very jealous of his brother. So, we use off the preposition the correct preposition for jealous. Leave for a place not to a place. So we always leave for a place so don't say they are leaving to England soon. They are leaving to England soon.

We should say they're leaving for England soon. So do not forget that preposition for use for leave. Number 45 live on not from live on. So don't say he lives from his brother his money. This is not correct, we should say he lives on his brother's money. So we live on somebody's money and we also say feed on for examples.

Some birds feed on insects, some birds feed on insects Do not forget this point. Next one is a look at not to look at something or somebody. So, don't say look to this beautiful picture, this is wrong. This is not correct, we should always say, Look at this beautiful picture, look at this beautiful picture, this is a correct way. Also we say gaze at stare at etc but to look after which means take after, look for which means to find. Look over which means to examine, look into which means to examine closely, look on or upon which means consider.

You can see that we use different kinds of prepositions with look and other verbs. Okay, let's go to the next 147 married to not with don't say actually don't say Angela was married with their rich man. No. And this is actually a very common error and mistakes I have seen many students use these kinds of errors. We should say Angela was married to a rich man. So Angela was married to a rich man nuts with a note.

Also we say engaged to. For example, Sally was engaged to Peter for a year. She was engaged to Peter for a year. So married to and engaged to. Next one is opposite to not from opposite to not from So, don't say their house is opposite from ours. Now, we should say that our house is opposite to ours.

So, opposite comes with a preposition to do not forget this important point. And we also can say opposite hours is also correct. So, we can say their house is opposite ours, this is also correct 49 passed by a place not from a place. So don't say Will you pass from the post office now this is actual This is not an English expression. This is not correct, we should say Will you pass by the post office? So this is a correct way.

And note also we can say pass the post office. Okay, so Well you pass the post office. This is also correct. Play for a team number 50. Not with a team. So say play for a team.

So don't say he plays regularly with that team. This is not correctly we should say. He plays regularly for that team. So play for IT team. Not with IT team
