GoodEnglish, 1988. — 240 p.A reference book full of the most frequently-used English words and their right prepositions. Over 7,500 examples.
Prepositions are very confusing for someone learning English, because they are not used in the same way in different languages. This practical book is a great help because of the abundance of concrete examples. The way that the entries are structured makes it easy to find exactly which preposition to use in the sentence you are writing. Not only will second-language learners find the Prepositionary an invaluable re source, English speakers will consult this cleverly -designed guide to help them convey accurately the meaning they intend. The examples are drawn from authoritative sources: magazines, newspapers, dictionaries, and such authors as Lewis Thomas, Scott Fitzgerald, Dickens, Shakespeare and Isaac Azimov.
