Adjectives & Prepositions
Some adjectives go with certain prepositions. There is no real pattern – you need to learn them as you meet them. Here are some examples:
With ‘at’
- I’m quite good at English but I’m bad at maths and I’m terrible at physics.
With ‘for
- The town is famous for its cheese.
With ‘of’
- I’m perfectly capable of doing it myself, thank you.
- I’m very fond of this old sweatshirt.
- I'm tired of horror movies.
With ‘with’
- We’re very pleased with your progress.
- You’re not still angry with me are you
With 'in'
- I'm interested in running.
- She's interested in History.
With 'on'
- She's keen on sports.
Remember too that a preposition is followed by a noun or a gerund (‘ing’ form). - See more at:
