| This book, now in its revised second edition, was written primarily for ESL students. However, it s also useful in remedial English courses presented on high school and college freshman levels. Many students of English as a second language quickly discover that English is unlike their native tongue in the many ways it uses prepositions. The majority of other languages have relatively few prepositions, each of which serving many different communication purposes. English is different in that it has dozens of prepositions, and very few of them follow any clear, consistent set of grammar rules. This book offers practical guidelines for correct preposition usage, and provides hundreds of examples that incorporate English prepositions in familiar contexts |
