Here is an example for/of the verb 'go';

Should I say, "Here is an example for the verb 'go'" or "Here is an example of the verb 'go'"?

Thank you.

teal lime Should I say, "Here is an example for the verb 'go'" or "Here is an example of the verb 'go'"? They are both possible, I guess. Without context, the second seems unlikely because you can't have an example of a thing that there is only one of.

  • They are both possible, I guess.
  • Without context, the second seems unlikely because you can't have an example of a thing that there is only one of.
  • Also, I would expect "the verb 'to go'" if you mean the infinitive.
  • You really do need to provide more context if you want a usable answer.
