Conquering prepositions is conquering English!

A big misconception that learners have about prepositions is that they are parts of speech that do not need to be studied separately.
Unlike content words such as verbs, adjectives, and nouns, there are not many of them, and above all, they are called ‘function words’, so people do not pay much attention to them.
But prepositions are not as easy as you think.
It is unfamiliar because it is a part of speech that does not exist in the Korean language, and more than anything, it plays its role just as well as the content word, but we, as non-native speakers, do not know it properly.
If grammar, content words, etc. function as the hardware and software that create sentences, then prepositions can be said to be the resolution that controls the nuance of meaning.
Just as you need the right resolution to see a clear screen, you need to know prepositions well to convey meaning accurately.
So, although it is a functional word, it is a part that requires as much effort and study as content words.
The benefits of studying prepositions properly are as follows:

1.
You can accurately grasp the nuances of a sentence.


Although content words such as verbs and nouns determine the nuance of a sentence, prepositions can also play a role.
This is especially true when looking at only the Korean meaning.
I'll work until 5 pm

I'll submit the report by tomorrow.
Both are the Korean word for 'until', but the first sentence means that I will work until 5 o'clock, but I will not work after 5 o'clock, and the second sentence means that I may submit the report this afternoon, tonight, or tomorrow noon, but in any case, I will submit it by tomorrow without delay.
If you rewrite it to be similar to our language, it will become a sentence that native speakers cannot understand.
Studying prepositions is important for communication purposes.

2.
The number of unwanted mistakes made based on Korean language standards is reduced.


There is a big rule in English: 'Transitive verbs do not use prepositions when they take an object, and intransitive verbs use prepositions when they take an object.'
However, looking at the Korean interpretation of approve (to approve of ~) and accompany (to accompany ~), it seems that the preposition should not be used for the verb in front, but the preposition with should be used for the verb in back.
However, approve is an intransitive verb that must be followed by of when it means 'to approve of', and accompany is a transitive verb that must be followed by no preposition.
In "Almost All Prepositional Expressions in English," this book explains in detail when Koreans should use prepositions and when they shouldn't, and when to is mistakenly written as of, thereby reducing mistakes in preposition use.

3.
We list verbs/adjectives/nouns that are used in conjunction with specific prepositions.


Up until now, there have been many books that focused on content words and dealt with which prepositions come after specific content words.
In "English with Almost All Prepositional Expressions," the content words (verb/adjective*past participle/noun) that come before specific prepositions, such as answer to (answer to ~), result in (result from/result comes out as ~), come from (comes from ~, is produced from ~), are organized to allow for more comprehensive use of prepositions.
