Kombinasi Noun dengan Preposition
Banyak noun (kata benda), terutama abstract noun, memiliki preposition (kata depan) yang mengikutinya. Preposition tersebut selanjutnya diikuti oleh objek (object of preposition) berupa noun (kata benda) atau frasa yang berfungsi sebagai noun (contoh: gerund phrase) membentuk prepositional phrase.
Biasanya hanya satu kemungkinan preposition, tapi kadang-kadang adapula alternatifnya. Kadang-kadang noun dengan makna yang sama dihubungkan oleh preposition yang sama pula. Karena pemilihan preposition yang digunakan tergantung kepada noun yang mendahuluinya, kita mungkin perlu mengecek kamus untuk mengetahui preposition yang mana yang digunakan untuk suatu noun.

Halo ka. aku mau nanya , aku masih kurang paham sama verb+prepositon ? , misal kenapa “I’m angry at you” bukan “i’m angry with you” nah yg aku masih bingung itu ka.?, Trus Syarat syarat pake prepositon “at” apa? Sama syarat prepositon “with , By , on , in” dengan verb, makasih ka??
Halo Mrandydf… jangan sedih 🙁
Itu adjective (angry) + preposition (at/with) bukan verb + preposition. Coba lihat: https://www.wordsmile.com/contoh-kalimat-adjective-diikuti-preposition. Memang ada angry + at dan angry + with. Untuk tau penggunaannya (diikuti apa) kita bisa cek kamus, Mrandydf. Sebagian adjective memiliki “pasangan” preposition yang bisa mengikutinya, tapi setau saya, tidak ada pola khususnya. Jadi kita hanya perlu menemukan dan mengingatnya (coba dimulai dari yang umum digunakan).
Semoga membantu Mrandydf 🙂
