Learn how to use the right prepositions in English sentences Do you ever get confused about which preposition to use? Prepositions can be a problem for many learners of a foreign language because they often have different meanings depending on the context in which they are used. In this course, you will be given systematic practice in the correct use of prepositions and prepositional phrases. We will also look at some common preposition errors.
Word formation plays a significant role in expanding vocabulary. The main objectives of the word formation process are to form new words with the same root by deploying different rules or processes.

This can help you understand the meaning of new words that you encounter in your reading and listening acitvities.
