Verbs + Prepositions


There are some verbs that need a preposition to fulfill their meaning in speech. For example, think about the verbs go and listen. They generally take the preposition to in full sentences:

I never go to the supermarket on Mondays.

We like listening to rock music.


Now, consider this list of verbs that take a preposition in full sentences or expressions:


arrive in/at

wait for

depend on

agree with

ask for

invite someone to

pay for

speak to

speak with

spend money on

write to 

worry about

fall in love with 

meet in/on/at

think about/of


Now it's time to practise here. Then, continue to the next subsection.
