Another preposition question
0 These prepositions drive me crazy but anyway, I need help with this sentence: 02 br
02 br
00 "She pulls out a hankie full of coins 01 b 01 u 00 from 02 u 02 b 00 her bra.' OR "She pulls out a hankie full of coins 01 b 01 u 00 out of 02 u 02 b 00 her bra." I think " 01 b 01 u 00 out of 02 u 02 b 00 " is the correct one but just want to be sure. 02 br
02 br
00 By the way, can anyone recommend a website or book that covers prepositions mainly. I seem to struggle with them a lot and wouldn't hurt taking a couple of classes. 02 br

0 I would say "out of," but without the first "out" - "She pulls a hankie full of coins out of her bra." 0-

0 Marius, do you think "out of" is less formal than "from"? To me "she pulls a banner from her bra" sounds a little stiffer than "she pulls a banner out of her bra" or even "she pulls out a banner from her bra." 0-

0 Either preposition is correct. However, if you use "out of" you need to say "pulls" instead of "pulls out". 02 br
