Where can I find idiomatic expressions with prepositions? #1 (permalink) Sat Apr 14, 2007 20:37 pm   Where can I find idiomatic expressions with prepositions?
 

Hi,

Does anyone happen to have a list of expressions that are formed with be + prepositions? What I mean are phrases like:

- to be through with something/somebody
- to be into something
- to up for something
- to be down
- to be in for something
- to be out
- to be up
- to over

Thanks,
Torsten

I don't have a list, but we certainly could brainstorm one here, couldn't we?

Edit:
I've removed my initial suggestions since they were apparently not what you were after.
