prepositions

0sometimes prepositions can be a subtle problem for english leaners. here i'd like to give a simple example that just comes into my mind.02br
02br
00e.g. the cost for/of/on the supplies during the winter seasons 02br
02br
00You see this is where i often hesitate a lot as to which one to choose since each of them seems to be acceptable somhow. so please could you shed some light on this kind of choice, or give me some guidance in this aspect. 02br
