prepositions normally used in "to read lectures PREP certain subject"
Hi,
Although this "construct" can be found in many online dictionaries, there are nuances that I hope you could explain to me in more detail...
(1) to give/deliver a lecture ON math/physics/English history/modern Russian literature, etc.
All of these examples are perfect English, aren't they?
(2) What if I use ABOUT for ON in the same examples?
Would they still remain good/natural English?
In other words, if you could clarify if (or when) the prepositions ON and ABOUT can be used 100% interchangeably in such/similar context?
(3) What preposition(s) can be used after "lecturer"? Is "IN" the only possible?
John is a leacturer IN chemistry
(4) What prepositions would do in the following context?
Dr.Snow is a leacturer ??? (certain institution/university/etc.)
