Common Adjective + Prepositions
We often follow adjectives by prepositions for example:
- afraid of
She's afraid of the dark. - famous for
France is famous for wine. - bored with
I'm bored with this film.
Unfortunately, there is no rule to tell you which preposition goes with
which adjective. So when you learn a new adjective, it's a good idea to learn
the preposition that goes with it, and write the "collocation" or
combination down in your vocabulary notebook.
