介詞 3大 常犯錯
“In, on, at” 成日用錯、唔知邊個打邊個？唔想成日因為 Grammar 而失分？想知點樣可以令你行文更加流暢、更加native? 以下係3個 英文 介詞 常犯錯，快啲嚟記低佢，無論 DSE 、 IELTS 咩試場上都唔會跌入呢啲陷阱啦！
常犯錯 1. 形容詞和名詞後的介詞
部分形容詞後面總是跟一個特定的介詞 (preposition)
- “At”
例：bad at, good at, surprised at
I was surprised at the number of people who came.
- “About and with”
例：angry about, pleased about （用於形容事物）
I am pleased about your new job.
例：angry with, pleased with（用於形容人物）

“Disappointed”後需使用“about” 或 “with”；“Worried”後則只能使用“about”：

I am worried about John. They are worried about the test.
部分名詞後面總是跟一個特定的介詞。
- “In”
例：decrease in, drop in, fall in, increase in, rise in:

- “Between”
表達對比兩件事，需使用“the difference between them”：
The main difference between the American and the Canadian accent is in the vowels.
- “Of”
例：advantage of, disadvantage of, example of, number of, percentage of, use of
The number of people in my class who smoke is incredible.
常犯錯 2. 動詞後的介詞
部分動詞後面必須跟一個特定的介詞。 有時可以使用多於一個介詞，有時根據使用哪個介詞，含義會有所不同：
- “Agree”
Agree with用於同意人或想法：

Agree to用於同意某事：
Both sides in the war have agreed to the ceasefire.
- “Apologize”

以上動詞後都可以配搭about：

“Think”後亦可以配搭 “about” 或 “of” 表達意見或未來計劃：
What do you think about / of the new computer lab? (意見)
I’m thinking about / of going back to university next year to finish my degree. (未來計劃)
- “Look”
當表達注視某物時，需使用“look at”，而當表達尋找某物時，則使用“look for”：
Oh, look at the sunset! Isn’t it beautiful?
I’ve looked for my homework everywhere. Have you seen it?
常犯錯 3. 時間和地點的介詞
我們用“in”表示年、月或一天的一部分，但“on”表示日或日期：
I came to Australia in 1988. We landed on 1st October, in the afternoon.
我們使用“at”來表示時間以及週末和晚上：
Let’s meet at the weekend. Are you free on Sunday at 8:00?
“For”可用作表示時間的長短：
I have lived in Australia for 18years.
“In”可配搭城市、國家和地方一起使用，表示某事發生在哪裡：
I met my husband in London.
我們亦可使用“in”配搭書、報紙、雜誌、期刊、電影或電視節目來表示在哪裡閱讀或看到某物：
I read some interesting new research in this month’s medical journal.
我們亦可使用“at”配搭學校、學院、大學、工作和家庭中來指代建築物：
‘Where is dad?’ ‘He’s at work.’
Shall we meet at the cinema? (= meet outside the building)
我們使用“to”配搭地方來顯示目的地：
