How many expressions you can think of using prepositions? #1 (permalink) Sat Aug 05, 2006 11:00 am   How many expressions you can think of using prepositions?
 

Hi,

What about seeing how many expressions you can think of using prepositions. Let's start alphabetically. I'll give some examples:

about:

about to go what's it all about? what about?

at:

at school good at at war

You send your examples in and I'll put some of them in sentences to show what the expressions mean.

Alan

What's this all about?
How did this project come about?
It's good to have a mobile phone when you are out and about.

That's about it I guess for this round...

And now, how about a cup of tea?
