Verbs with prepositions
Certain verbs and verbal expressions are generally followed by a preposition before their object (and this preposition will generally be shown in the dictionary).
However, the meaning of these verbs is not dramatically changed by the addition of the preposition. The same cannot be said of the prepositional verbs, dealt with in another section.
Examples:
- to wait for
- to look for
- to look at
- to listen to
- to pay for
- to ask for
- to be happy with something
- to be mad at (or: with) someone
- to depend on
- to be interested in
- to thank fort
- to be busy with
Sample sentences:
- She's the one who paid for our dinner!
- I'm not asking for anything!
- I'm busy with my own stuff.
- That depends on you.
