A Prepositional Interruption

Hello all!

I’ll be returning to the punctuation review next time (dashes are up next!), but I wanted to interrupt myself today to share this highly helpful chart I found, which presents some of the most common word/preposition pairings. It’s surprisingly difficult sometimes to determine which preposition is supposed to go with the word you’re using, so I’m hoping that this will be a handy resource to get you through the matching process and back into the meat of your writing.

Here it is:

And that’s it for today! See you next time for a brief review of dashes and how to use them!

About Sarah Dawson

For nearly a decade, I have worked with both corporate and independent authors to perfect their writing prior to its publication. As a freelancer, the services I offer include proofreading, copyediting (light, medium, and heavy), substantive editing, rewriting, and writing. Whatever the type of service I provide, I consider myself a liaison between author and reader; my job is to convey the author’s message to the reader in the clearest, most pleasing way possible. Among my particular areas of expertise are educational materials and child and young adult literature. My background as an educator and a school librarian gives me unique insight into how to make such writing exceptional. I have also worked extensively with corporate writers, working on text for use in marketing, employee education, and websites. I welcome all inquiries. Let me know how I can help perfect your writing!
