Grammar rule

Words and their prepositions

Many adjectives and verbs go with a particular preposition

	Preposition	Examples
adjective + at	good at, bad at	She's good at math.
adjective + in	interested in	Are you interested in art?
adjective + of	afraid of, proud of, tired of	I'm proud of you.
adjective + about	worried about, excited about, crazy about	He's crazy about soccer.
adjective + for	responsible for, famous for	She's responsible for a team.
verb + on	depend on, rely on, focus on	It depends on the weather.
verb + about	worry about, argue about, think about	We argue about money.
verb + to / with	listen to, belong to · agree with	I agree with you.

What comes after?

A noun, a pronoun or a verb with -ing (unit 20): good at math · good at it · good at talking to people.

In questions, the preposition often goes at the end: What are you interested in? Who do you depend on?

Not interested about, depend of or afraid from, and not good in for an activity (good at drawing). Learn each word together with its preposition. A few can also take another one: crazy for, worried for, depend upon.
