Welcome to Part Number Six using the wrong preposition. Listen understand more and more wrong prepositions used by many English and foreign students. But the important point is that we must understand them and we must correct them. Because some native people cannot understand us. And actually, this is a big mistake. Okay?

Let's start number 51. Pleased with not from so don't say I'm pleased from, for example, my teacher. No, this is wrong. So don't say the teacher is pleased it from me. No, no, no, this is wrong. And many students use this way.

So we should say, the teacher is pleased with me. This is a correct way. So the preposition of please is with. And note we say pleased ads are pleased with if an abstract noun or a clause follows they were for example, they were pleased at what he said or they were pleased at her results. So in these kinds of situations and this case, please comes with at this is very important point number 52 popular with not among so don't say John's popular among his friends okay. We should say John's popular with his friends this is a correct way to speak about popular and number 53 is prefer to not from so does I'm saying I prefer a blue pen from a red one.

This is not correct. We should say I prefer a blue pen to a red one. So, prefer something to something else a notes we also say preferable to. For example, this car is preferable to my old one preferable to. This is another actually phrase that is used with a preposition to number 50. For preside apps are over, not in so we reside at or over not, and so don't say who presided in the last meeting.

This is not correct, we should say who presided out or over the last meeting. preside comes with a preposition at number 55 proud of not for Proud of so don't say he's very proud for his promotion. No, no, no. We should say he's very proud of his promotion so proud comes with a preposition. of Do not forget this point. A note.

We say take a pride in also this is a very important phrase. A crafts man takes a pride in his work. Take a pride in something in order for the 60s rejoice at or and not for her rejoice at or and so don't say we rejoice for her success. Now, this is incorrect. This is a very common mistakes. So we should say we rejoice at or inherit success.

This is the correct way. So rejoice comes with a preposition at or M next parties related to Not with related to. So don't say are you related with Ted in any way? Now this is wrong, we should say, Are you related to Ted in any way? So related to somebody a note, also we say relation to Is he in a relation to you? Is he any relation to you?

Number 58 repent off not from this is another actually incorrect preposition many students use. So don't say he repented from his crime. Now Now, no, you should say he repented off his crime. So, repent comes with a preposition of not from a note. We also say repentance takes four. For example, He feels repentance for his repentance.

Next one is satisfied with not from satisfied point. So don't say Are you satisfied from your marks? Now, this is not correct, you should say Are you satisfied with your marks, and this is another common mistakes. Unfortunately many foreign and English students make when they actually speak English and use the word satisfy in their speech. And also notes. The content we also say contend with delighted with, unhappy with happy with, displeased with dissatisfied with disgusted with there are some synonyms and other words we use them with a preposition with are very important point 60 similar to not with so don't say Your house is similar with mine.

No, no, this is not correct. You should say your house is similar to mine. So your house is similar to mine. This is a correct way.
