'Accuse of doing'/'Open on Sundays'
hello
sir, I am a bit confused about the meaninf of this sentence ;"Monika now accuse those who backed her of kidnapping and forcing her to tell lies". In this sentence I am basically confused about the meaning which "of" is serving.
I also want to ask the correct sentence between these two:
"It was not expected from her"
"It was not expected of her"
And sir I also want to ask the difference between these two"
" Is it remain open on sundays?"
"Does it remain open on sunday?"
I always use the second one but I have heard people using the first one and I get confused about what type of sentence this is? Is it get counted in simple sentences?

1) "Someone accuses someone OF doING something" is the formula. The person accused is the object of the verb "accuse". The act that person may have done is introduced by "of" and is expressed with a gerund (ING form).

Thank You sir , but sir why the sentence " Is it remain open on Sundays?" is wrong?

It is the question form of the statement "It remains open on Sundays".
Any statement with the verb in the "s" form (remains) is transformed into a question by putting "does" at the beginning (never "is") and removing the "s".
It remains open on Sundays. Does it remain open on Sundays?
This car goes very fast. Does this car go very fast?
