Adjectives and Prepositions Learn British English with Lucy

I want to talk to you today about

something so awful that many students

despair today we’re going to talk about

preposition unfortunately it is 8:30 in

the morning and I am not allowed a glass

of wine for at least another 4 hours so

I’m going to have to do this with coffee

hello everyone and welcome back to

english with lucy I’ve got a very very

useful lesson for you today so please

keep watching and this lesson is all

about adjectives and their corresponding

prepositions I’ve had so many requests

for this video so this is for you guys

now before we get started I’m always

being asked questions on all of my

social media about how people can

improve their fluency practice their

conversation and speak with natives

if there are no natives in their area

well I have a cheap convenient easy and

effective solution for you I am working

with a company called I talking and I

talkie is a huge website filled with

thousands of native international

teachers that are just waiting for you

to book in for a lesson with them their

prices are really really good much

better than you would pay for a

one-to-one lesson in person so they have

native qualified teachers who will plan

a lesson and help you with grammar they

also have just native speakers who are

there to have conversation lessons with

you and I’ve got a present for you I

have got a 100 I talked accredit coupon

to give you and you can get it through

the link that’s in the description box

and when you make your first purchase

after clicking that link your itoki

account will automatically be credited

with 100 I’d walkie credits which is

around $10 so make sure you sign up and

let me know how your experience when I

talk it is I think it’s fabulous

and I hope you will too now one of the

most frustrating things about English is

there are so few rules

so unfortunately these collocations

between adjectives and prepositions are

ones that you will just have to learn

there is no real rule with them but I’m

here to help you so I’m going to do it

clearly on my whiteboard and hopefully

at the end of the lesson you will feel

much more confident here we have our

first list of sentences all using

adjectives that go with a particular

preposition have a look for five seconds

and see if you can work out which

preposition it is we’ve got proud aware

full afraid and capable ah the

preposition is of I am proud of my

achievements I am aware of this

situation

Lucy’s glass is full of wine well not

yet but it will be this evening I am Not

Afraid of spiders and you are all

capable of speaking English and this is

a hundred percent true you are all

capable of learning and speaking English

especially with my help yeah okay now on

to the next one we’ve got the objectives

addicted allergic sensitive similar and

dedicated which preposition do these go

with take five seconds to think about it

ah the preposition was to watch how I

pronounced that - - okay so I am

addicted to learning languages this is

true I love learning languages and my

flatmate is allergic to gluten which is

also true poor Angelo he is Italian and

he can’t eat pizza pasta anything can we

just have a moment’s silence for Angelo

okay my skin is sensitive to the Sun yes

yes it is I’ve already shown you that in

my Q&A video

she is similar to her mother and I Lucy

from English with Lucy a hundred percent

dedicated to teaching English so now

we’re on to the next list of sentences

using adjectives that go with specific

prepositions and here we’ve got happy

angry annoyed bored and pleased now some

of these do go with more than one

preposition which I will talk about

afterwards

ah so the preposition is with I am very

happy with my teacher I am angry with my

boyfriend I am getting annoyed with you

I am bored with this game and Lucy is

pleased with your progress well done

guys I’m very pleased with your progress

okay so quickly I don’t want to spend

too much time on this so don’t get

obsessed but there are some other

prepositions that can go with these

objectives so with happy we can say for

or about I’m so happy for you or I’m

really happy about getting the new job

angry I’m angry about what happened

yesterday or I’m really angry at my

boyfriend you can also say that

so with annoyed again we can say about

an at I’m annoyed about what happened

I’m annoyed at my boyfriend and bored

bored

technically only goes with bye but many

many people say of I’m bored of this it

should be bored with this or bored by

this but you will hear bored of I even

say that sometimes though it is

incorrect and then pleased also goes

with about or for and pleased for you

I’m pleased about this so now I’ve got a

challenge for you

is slightly more difficult because there

are two prepositions that can go in

these adjectives some go with

specifically one some go specifically

with the other and some can be used with

both so have a think we’ve got

experienced slow fast and interested

okay so the prepositions were in and at

so experienced goes with either in or at

I’m very experienced in business I’m

very experienced at business it means

the same thing then we have slow and

fast with at I’m slow at running and I’m

not very fast at typing and then finally

we’ve got interested that goes within

are you interested in politics for

example okay on to our next preposition

this time we’ve got famous responsible

and suitable which preposition will it

be ah the preposition is for London is

famous for being a multicultural city

that’s why I love it and you are

responsible for your own actions and

these shoes aren’t suitable for dancing

okay this is a little bonus this is

something that many students get wrong

here I have three ways of saying that

you like something okay so we’ve got I

am keen tennis

I am a fan tennis and I am fond boot

tennis do you know which preposition

goes with which phrase have a think okay

did you get it right I am keen on tennis

I am a fan of tennis and I am fond of

tennis so we’ve got on of of and these

are very very important phrases we use

them a lot it’s very British to say

instead of oh I don’t like pasta I’m not

keen on pasta or I’m not fond of past

or I’m not a fan of pastas so we can use

it in a negative way as well as the

positive way just a reminder if you want

to use it in the negative way and we

have to put here not I’m not keen on I’m

not a fan of and I’m not fond of okay I

hope that helps anyone who’s doing a b1

exam you will need to know this

associate the Cambridge pet the FCE you

will need to know these sentences so

that’s it for my lesson about adjectives

and prepositions that go together I hope

you know something I hope you enjoyed it
