Problem of / for / in
Hi
I am not good at "preposition", so I hope you could look at my understanding below
Sentence:
I would helped the students with their problem_________the exercise class
Is my understanding below correct?
Are my examples sensible?
Understanding1:
Problem for the exercise class:
Example: All classrooms are occupied, so we don't have a class today.
Problem for the exercise class = no classroom
Understanding2:
Problem of the exercise class:
Example:The length of the class is just 1 hour, so it is not good enough
Problem of the exercise class = The length of the class is just 1 hour
Understanding3:
Problem in the exercise class:
Example: In the class today, I didn't understand the question 1 on the exercise sheet.
Problem in the exercise class = the question 1
Thanks
