Hello everybody welcome to Part Number Two of using the wrong preposition. Unfortunately, many English and foreign students use the right preposition and they cannot communicate with foreign people, Native people and they make lots of mistakes both in writing and speaking. But in this course, we will teach you and we will help you to correct your mistakes. Okay, let's start with number 11. Most of or about not for so don't say James boasted for his strength. No, we should say James boasted off or about his strengths.

Don't actually make these mistakes that many English on foreign students make. Okay. Number 12. Careful of with or a bounce not for. So don't say Ted's very careful. For his health, say Ted's very careful off or about his health This is another mistakes many students make.

Or we can say you should be more careful with your money. So we can use careful off we are about and there's another expression and phrase we say take care of. He takes care of his money. So take her off. Okay? Now authority we say travel by train, it's run knots with a train.

So don't say he traveled with a train yesterday. say he traveled by train yesterday. Note, we say by train by boat, by plane by bike also by land, by sea by air by boss but we say in public bus or on a bus, by a car or in a car, by taxi or in a taxi, on horseback or on a donkey. on a bicycle on float, we must understand these important prepositions. Next one complain about not for so don't say an IT complained for the weather, we should say and it's complained about the weather. So complaint comes with about note, when talking about a last we use complain of.

So we say she complained of a sore throat. This is a very important point and we must be careful when we are using these kinds of prepositions. Next one is composed of not from so don't say our class is composed from 30 students now we should say our class is composed of 30 students so composed of 16 confidence in not two. So we have confidence in so don't say I have great confidence to you No, no no, you should say I have great confidence in you. This is a correct for a note, we also say in confidence, let me tell you something in confidence which means as a secret, this is another important point. Number 17 conform to not with this is another actually mistake many students make.

So don't say we must conform with the rules. This is not correct. We should say we must conform to the rules to the rules, so conform to something a note comply also takes with will comply with your requests complies another synonym for conform number 18 congratulate on not for weed never say I congratulate you for something. So don't say I congratulate you for your success this is wrong. Say I congratulate you on your success this is a correct form. And number 19 is consist of not from actually many of my students make these kinds of mistakes they seek insist from because they thinking actually their own native language they don't think in English this is a problem they make.

So don't say a year consists from 12 months this is wrong. Say a year consists of 12 months this is a correct way to speak about consist a note take great care never to use consists in the passive form whenever used in the passive form. Number 20 cover the wave not by so don't say the mountains are covered by snow this is wrong say the mountains are covered with or in snow. This is a correct way. Okay, thank you so much. We learned many great prepositions and I suggest you to come back and review the lesson.
