Adjective + Preposition Mixed Practice (Easy)

The most common adjective + preposition phrases in English include "good at," "interested in," "afraid of," "worried about," and "different from." Each adjective has a fixed preposition that must be learnt together with it — there is no rule that tells you which preposition to use. Think of each phrase as one piece of vocabulary: when you learn the word "good," also learn that it needs "at" to talk about skills: "She is good at cooking."

This mixed practice exercise brings together the most frequently used phrases from all preposition groups. You will see phrases with at, in, of, for, to, about, with, and from — all at a beginner-to-intermediate level. The best way to improve is to read the full sentence before choosing your answer, because the meaning of the sentence often helps you pick the right preposition. For example, "afraid" is about fear, and fear is directed at something — so the preposition is "of." Regular practice with common phrases like these builds the strong base you need for more advanced exercises later.
