Correct usage of 'habitual'

Somebody asked this question last week.

"About" is not a good preposition here.

It's habitual of/for him to stay up late.

I suppose you could say, "He has a certain habit about him."

- A.

He is habit of stay up late. Of will be convenient preposition with HABIT.

mehtab_memonHe is habit of stay up late. Of will be convenient preposition with HABIT.

I'm sorry, but this is entirely incorrect. The correct answer is given above.

Please make sure you are confident of your answers, including referring to grammar books as necessary, before answering posts that may confuse learners.

Anonymous''It is habitual about him to stay up late."

Not good. You want this:

He usually stays up late.

Hi, CJ.
Is there any correct way to use "habitual"?

Rgdz, - A.

Edit. I often hear, "This is getting to be habitual with him" as equivalent to "This is getting to be a habit with him."
