Verb-Preposition Phrases English Lesson

Verb-preposition phrases are an essential part of English grammar and speaking. They are combinations where a verb is naturally followed by a specific preposition, creating a meaning that learners must memorize. Using the wrong preposition can confuse listeners, so it’s important to practice them correctly.

In this short video lesson, you will focus on six very common verb-preposition phrases: to be tired of, to be interested in, to be afraid of, to believe in, to be polite to, and to be ashamed of. These are everyday expressions that English speakers use naturally, but learners often find tricky.

For example, we say “I am tired of waiting,” not “tired at waiting.” Similarly, “She is interested in music,” not “interested on music.” Learning the correct combinations will help you sound more fluent and confident.

By watching the video and repeating after the speaker, you’ll hear the correct pronunciation and rhythm of these phrases. Practicing them out loud will make them easier to remember and use naturally in real conversations.

This lesson is perfect for learners at all levels who want to strengthen their grammar, vocabulary, and speaking skills quickly.
