ABSTRACT

The correct use of prepositions is a good indication of your mastery of French. It is an area where English learners are particularly prone to make mistakes, because usage is so idiomatic and frequently different from English. Native speakers know instinctively which preposition to use and when not to use one at all. This chapter draws your attention to the most significant points of difference between English and French, and provides a variety of exercises to practise and test what you have learnt.
