PREPOSITIONS IN ENGLISH: Learn 20 Verbs with Prepositions

Learn 20 of the most common English verb and preposition combinations. In addition to common prepositional verbs such as “depend on” and “listen to,” you will learn “believe in,” “agree with,” “belong to,” “plan on,” “provide someone with something,” and more. This is also a great video for English listening and speaking practice! I understand that English prepositions can be tough for learners, but by seeing, hearing, and repeating correct forms, you can improve your grammatical accuracy. Make sure to listen to and REPEAT the correct forms in the video, and to do the quiz at www.engvid.com/prepositions-i... to test your English skills when you’re finished watching the lesson. This is an intermediate English grammar lesson, but it’s never a bad idea to review the fundamentals even if you’re an advanced learner. I wish you luck with your studies. See you in the comments!

To hear sth, but to listen to sth. Thank you, Alex.😁

[@engvidAlex]

My pleasure!

[@fredylopez2477]

There's a slight difference.
When you listen to someone or something, you pay attention to what you're listening to.
When you hear someone or something, you just hear but you don't pay any attention.
That's my point of view.

When you expect someone's help in some situation, you just tell him/her that you're COUNTING ON HIM/HER, or
you just say:
- "I'm counting on you".
