Prepositions needed?
Hi. Should we (I?) put the preposition "at" before these what I consider as verbs that carry action ("action" verbs??)?
sniffed (at??) him
prodded (at??) him
snuffled (at??) him
pushed (at??) him
pawed (at??) him
nuzzled (at??) him
sniffed (at??) him
prodded (at??) him
snuffled (at??) him
pushed (at??) him
pawed (at??) him
nuzzled (at??) him

)? ) him 'At' focuses on the action happening. eg I pushed at him .
- )?
- ) him 'At' focuses on the action happening.
- eg I pushed at him .
- This makes me think of my arm going out towards him.
- The words don't actually make it completely certain that I was successful in touching him.
