00What's the difference between these two? say i want to ask you to see my new web site:02br
02br
00- Please take a look at the new site i finished last night.02br

0Unfortunately there are no hard and fast rules to help you learn correct prepositions, it's really a case of having to learn which is appropriate for each context.0-

0 It may help to memorize not just verbs, but verb and preposition combinations. Practice through patterns, as follows.02br
02br
00 look - take a look at (something)02br
02br
00 Take a look at my new site.02br
00 Take a look at my new car.02br
00 Take a look at that desk.02br
00 Take a look at that book.02br

0All the replies were helpful. I agree with Nona that there isn't fast rule by which i'd learn correct prepositions but actually CJ has pointed me in right direction. Only by repeating the same patterns i can come at least close to be good and to make less mistakes.02br

00Thank you guys you are great. I will keep visiting this site. 050010id1

Hello, like the other people here I agree that prepositions are hard to learn, so many of them have to be committed to memory. However, there are three basic prepositions for time and for location that are easy to memorize. I would like to share that with you.

Prepositions AT, ON, and IN for location.

We use the preposition AT for a specific address.

ex: I live at 123
