How to learn English: Prepositions and Collocations

Do you struggle with English prepositions and verb collocations? In this English lesson, you'll learn how to use common verbs with the correct prepositions so you can speak and write English more naturally and accurately.

Many English learners know the meaning of a verb but aren't sure which preposition should follow it. Should you say listen music or listen to music? Do you arrive at the airport or arrive in the airport? Is it depend on or depend of?

This lesson explains these common English verb and preposition combinations with simple rules, examples, practice exercises, and sentence corrections.

You'll practice useful patterns such as:

• listen to music
• arrive at the airport
• arrive in a city or country
• depend on something
• succeed in doing something
• focus on something
• concentrate on something
• explain something to someone
• apologize to someone for something

You'll also learn why some verbs do not need a preposition. For example:

✅ We discussed the problem.
❌ We discussed about the problem.

The lesson includes sentence-completion activities, sentence transformations, common mistake corrections, and a final review to help you remember these important English collocations.

A great lesson for ESL and EFL students, English teachers, intermediate English learners, and anyone who wants to improve their English grammar, speaking, writing, and vocabulary.

The best way to learn verb-preposition combinations is to learn the whole expression in context, rather than memorizing individual prepositions. Practice these expressions regularly, and they will begin to sound natural.
