Name three verbs and their dependent prepositions.
Verbs are an essential part of language and communication. They can be used to express action or a state of being. Dependent prepositions are words that are used to indicate location, time, or direction in relation to the verb. It is important to be able to recognize and understand the relationship between verbs and dependent prepositions.
Verbs and Dependent Prepositions
Verb: A word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence, such as hear, become, happen. Preposition: A word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause, such as in, on, at, by, for. Dependent Prepositions: A preposition that is dependent on the verb it follows, and has a unique meaning. For example, the verb 'look' is followed by the preposition 'at', as in 'look at the flowers.'
