Why practice Prepositional Phrases exercises?
These prepositional phrases exercises help you master the dependent prepositions that follow adjectives and nouns — combinations you simply have to learn because there are no reliable rules. Start with everyday adjective + preposition collocations like interested in and worried about (A2), then build up to less common adjective collocations and noun + preposition pairs at B1. Finally, tackle fixed idiomatic phrases such as in a hurry, on behalf of and by means of, and put everything together in a comprehensive mixed review at B2.
