NB2.1 - Adjectives followed by prepositions

In lesson 10A we work with this grammar point. The best way of learning is by practising so let's have a look of possible ways of doing exercises:

• adjectives with prepositions: exercise 1    exercise 2     
• grouping adjectives with prepositions: exercise 1    exercise 2

You can find more exercises on your own if you like, but there is a post for the previous NI1 that could help you; go to this post

See you in class!

NI1 - Adjectives with a preposition

You can do practise this grammar point in two ways:

• focusing on the preposition: go to this link
• focusing on the adjective: here you have a list

As you can see there are many adjectives and many prepositions so you can do it in whatever way you like but the best option is to practise as much as possible. Here you are exercises:

• exercise 1     exercise 2     exercise 3     exercise 4      exercise 5

There are a couple of things you must keep in mind:

• when you have an action after the preposition you must use -ING form, as it happens in Spanish; e.g. I'm good at writing but I'm worried about taking the final exam.
• sometimes an adjective can take different prepositions; e.g.   I'm bad at maths  ---  I'm bad with computers  ---   Smoking is bad for you

Apart from this grammar point, we saw something that was a bit confusing for you:

• COMPARISON: She is as tall as me  ---  She is taller than her brother (you compare)
• CONTRAST: She is so tall that she could play basket (you remark something)
