Have you ever wondered how words like “play” and “with” fit together, like in “play with toys“? Or why do we say “dream of” instead of “dream to”? In English, some words love to stick together to make sense, especially verbs (action words) and prepositions (little words that show direction or connection, like “with,” “of,” “about,” and “to”).
It might sound like a secret code, but don’t worry! We’re going to explore some of these special pairs, making it super easy to understand and use them in your everyday conversations and stories. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of English verbs and prepositions!
