FOCUS: Verb + preposition combinations
Identify the six errors in the eight sentences below.
You should only correct prepositions. In some cases a preposition has been used where standard usage requires no prepositions; in cases where you wish to remove a preposition completely use capital Ø.

Remember that you may introduce new errors if you add or delete letters or spaces that have nothing to do with the exercise; e.g. if you accidentally delete the "t" in "the" it will count as an error.

This exercise aims to reflect tendencies in the use of prepositions in English. If two or more prepositions are acceptable in a certain context, choose the one that has been most commonly used in the corpus.
