Preposition Usage
Dear Experts,
Can "propensity" be followed by "towards"? If so, kindly give me examples.
I have seen it followed by for and to. I thought that "propensity" itself expresses some/part of the meaning that "towards" is meant for, and so I would think that "towards" would be superfluous, or even wrong here.
And, the next question I have is on similar lines.
Can "in due course" be followed by "of time" ? If so, why? I would think that "in due course of time" would be superfluous as in the example above.
Kindly clarify.
Sincerely,
Prasanna
