 |
|
Hi everyone,
I am a Chinese. I have learned English since I was in kindergarten. During my schoolings, most of my subjects are in English except Chinese and Chinese history. However, I still find prepositions are hard to cope with. It is hard to memorize them all as it changes in different situations. Is there any way to master it? |

The best way to learn the correct use of prepositions in my opinion is to use them in conversation.
Good luck,
COrey

| Thank you for your suggestion. However, in Hong Kong, our conversations are mainly in Cantonese. And it is not common to find a foreigner to converse. We learn English mainly from books and local teachers. Or we can learn it through radio, tv. and DVD. It is our limitation of learning foreign language |

In that case I would suggest you practice writing. Pick a topic - anything really - and right a paragraph or two. Then show it to your teacher or post it for someone to correct.
Good luck,
Corey

I am from Hong Kong too, but i found HK teachers are sometimes not up to it. Do you think there are any on-line teachers we can send essay of a pick up topics for them to correct
