Could you explain the difference of the meaning of these sentences?
One of my students made a sentence the other day.
a ) I study about electric.
I think that we usually don't put the preposition after " study " ,
for example. b) " I study electric."
However, after I looked up into that verb on the internet, I found that
both sentences are grammatically correct.
Is there any difference of the meaning in these sentences?
