The 10 Most Frequent Preposition Mistakes in English

Almost every language learner struggles with prepositions. This is perfectly normal because when we are learning a new language, we want to transfer the rules and phrases from our first language to our new language. This works sometimes – but not always! Should you say “I listen to music”, or “I listen music”? Is the correct sentence “He went to home”, or “He went home”? These are just two of the common confusions that I discuss in this essential English grammar lesson. What about “married to” vs. “married with”? “For” or “during”? “Depend of” or “depend on”? Watch this video to find out if you make any of these ten frequent English preposition mistakes. To review this lesson in greater detail, read the article that I wrote about it.

Fantastic and enormous explanation.

Hi Alex,

thank you for the lesson.

Could it be possible, that under the third bullet (I am here to help you.) it is a cluase of purpose which means that TO is a particle of an infitive here and no preposition ?

Thanks a lot, Alex. You’re really good at teaching. Unfortunately, I’ve never been to Canada so I hope to go there in order to learn more about English and culture. By the way, where do you live in Canada?
