Which preposition is correct?
he lost his interest for serving as a doctor
he lost his interest in serving as a doctor
Some experts say the strength of the local currency contributed in slowing the nation's exports
Some experts say the strength of the local currency contributed to slowing the nation's exports
I forgot to input a title so I posted it again.
I have learned the preposition "in" is used with "interest" but I found "for", used with interest, so there is a meaning difference or only one is acceptable?
Also the preposition "to" is used with "contribute" but in some article, I found "in" was written with "contribute" ,so which one is right or there is a meaning difference?
