Prepositions - Intermediate

Gentlemen,

The following post is about prepositions, words like: of, to, in, at, on, from, for

You know how to use them for time and place:

Time: I was born in November
Place: I live in Dubai.

But we can also use prepositions with verbs, adjectives, and nouns to make the relationship between words and ideas more clear.

Verbs: In university, he specialized in computers.

Nouns: Abduallah is a bad student. He is always getting in trouble.

Adjectives: I am interested in learning English
