What is an Appropriate Preposition or Fixed Preposition?
There are some words that always take particular prepositions after them to express a meaning suitable or right for a particular situation or occasion, those particular prepositions, however, are quite fixed and they are called appropriate or fixed prepositions. This is a matter of idiom.
There may be multiple prepositions after a particular word, which means, the word expresses different meanings according to the object to fulfil the overall crisis of the sentence.
Here we will go through a list of a few such appropriate prepositions. But to leave it simple and easy, I have categorized the list alphabetically. And further, I will attach the same list in group-meaning wise, which means groups for the same range of meaning together.
