Hello, my dear readers!
Tell me, do you listen to music every day?
Why can’t I say “listen music” or “listen at music” or “listen on music”? Because we say “listen to”. But why? – you will ask me. Because there are some prepositions that we simply must know. They are linked to the word they go after, like this:

So in this blog I want to tell you about some must-know prepositions!
First of all, there are verbs followed by prepositions. There are also nouns and adjectives followed by prepositions.
Let’s take a look at verbs:

When we have a verb followed by a preposition, we use gerund (Verb-ing) after the preposition. For example, we say “I worry about getting a good job”, we succed in doing something.
This is a verb pattern: verb + preposition + gerund.
There are many more verbs with dependent prepositions, I advise you to write them down in your vocabulary notebook when you come across them.

As you see, there are also adjectives followed by prepositions.
Here are some of them:
