Hi there, students. A dependent preposition, ok, if we look in English, some verbs, some adjectives and some nouns have a preposition that needs to go with them. So for example, to aim at, at the is the dependent preposition that goes with aim. We could also aim for, so it's either aim at or aim for. Yeah, to deal with something, with is the dependent prepostion with the verb to deal. To insist on, I insist on your doing this, ok. To consent to, do you consent to my doing this? So the verb consent, the dependent preposition is to. To congratulate on, I would like to congratulate you on your success. So notice when you learn vocabulary, you need to learn the dependent prepostions that go with each vocabulary. So I have just given some examples and some verbs. But let's look at some adjectives. Ok, to be keen on, you are keen on football. So notice on, is the dependent prepostion with keen. Ok, to be sick of, I am sick of doing this. Sick of, yeah. To be sorry for or to be sorry about, notice here there are two possible dependent prepositions but you need to use one of them. Ok, to be incapable of, I am incapable of doing this right, so notice this again, adjectives with dependent prepositions again. And also, we can have some collocations or some collocation sets of prepostions with nouns, yeah. So for example, is your car under guarantee? Notice very often with the dependent prepositions that the dependent preposition goes before. I am in his power, in somebody's power, yeah, to be in power, yeah. The prime minister is in power at moment. Or perhaps to have a preference for. I have a preference for beer, ok. So notice, a preference for. Or he had a bad reaction to the medicine. He had a bad reaction to my arriving late, ok, a reaction to something. Ok, here we have nouns with dependent preprositions as well. So like I said before, when you learn your vocabulary, you need to learn the prepositions that go with either the verb, with the adjective or with the noun. Because they are part of it, it is a part of a collocation if you like, yeah. So anyway, I hope that will help you a little bit. It's not the easiest (to, two?) the subjects. Because you just need to learn the correct preposition with each piece of vocabulary, or even not preposition. Ok, anyway, that's enough now.
