Verb + Präposition

Viele Verben brauchen vor ihrem Objekt eine feste Präposition. Sie unterscheidet sich oft von anderen Sprachen, also lerne Verb und Präposition zusammen:

  • on: depend on, rely on, insist on, concentrate on, spend (money) on
  • for: wait for, pay for, ask for, apply for, thank someone for, apologise for, search for
  • to: listen to, belong to, write to, reply to, happen to
  • at: look at, laugh at, smile at
  • in: believe in, succeed in
  • with: agree with (mit einer Person)
  • of: consist of, remind someone of
  • about: care about, worry about

In Fragen bleibt die Präposition beim Verb und wandert oft ans Ende: Who are you waiting for? Nach der Präposition steht das Verb im -ing: He insisted on paying. Sage depend on, niemals depend of.
